Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cooked and shredded
  • 1/4 cup taco sauce or mild salsa
  • 1/4 cup alfredo sauce or heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • salt & pepper to taste

  • toppings: avocado, cilantro, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, etc.

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, stir the chicken together with taco sauce, alfredo, cheese and seasonings.
  3. Divide the mixture into ten equal portions and fill the tortillas with filling, rolling tightly and placing the seam side down on the baking sheet.
  4. Spray chicken taquitos lightly with a nonstick cooking spray and bake for 15 minutes or until they are golden and as crispy as you'd like.
  5. Serve your chicken flautas warm with any desired toppings: salsa, guacamole, taco sauce, sour cream, cilantro, etc.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Feel free to substitute 2 cans of chicken for the cooked and shredded chicken breasts.
  • Tip 2: Rotisserie chicken with the skin removed also works great!
