Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 1/2 ounces queso fresco, crumbled (or sub. feta cheese)
- 12 corn tortillas
- oil (for frying) salt and pepper (to season)
Preparation
Step 1
1Bring saucepan of water and chicken to boil.
2Reduce heat to simmer for 15-20 minutes, until chicken is cooked.
3Remove from pan.
4After chicken has cooled, shred with 2 forks and set aside.
5Chop onion and mince garlic.
6Add onion and garlic to heated oil and sauté on low heat until onion is soft, but not browned.
7Mix in chicken and season with salt and pepper.
8Remove from heat and add in cheese.
9Mix well.
10Soften tortillas in microwave for 30 sec.
11Heat frying oil until small piece of tortilla floats and bubbles.
12Place chicken mixture in each tortilla, roll up tightly and secure with toothpick.
13I recommend putting tortilla in oil immediately, as they tend to crack and come apart if left sitting.
14Turn flautas frequently, cooking 2-3 minutes or until golden.
15Drain on paper towels and serve with creme and salsa, if desired.
