Happy “National Guacamole Day!”…
I made these delicious chicken flautas in our air fryer.
Flautas are typically fried in oil, however these air fryer flautas are just as crispy and tasty. Crispy and chewy goodness actually!
So easy to make and so delicious! I used a store bought rotisserie chicken, some cheeses, soft flour tortillas and a few spices, that’s it!
I also made some guacamole and used it as a dip for my flautas along with salsa & sour cream.
These flautas are a delicious new favorite treat for us!
~ Chicken Flautas ~
Ingredients:
2 cups shredded chicken
1+1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 cup shredded Mexican style blend cheese, cheddar or pepper jack
Cream cheese
12 small soft flour tortillas -taco sized
Olive oil cooking spray
Additional ingredients for toppings or dipping:
Guacamole
Salsa
Sour cream
Shredded Lettuce
Diced Tomatoes
Diced onion
Pico de Gallo
In a medium bowl add shredded chicken, spices, and cheese, mix to combine all ingredients.
To make the flautas, spread a thin layer of cream cheese onto a tortilla to the edges-(this helps to keep them rolled.)
Next place about a heaping tablespoon of chicken-cheese mixture down the length of a tortilla slightly off center and then roll tortilla edge over chicken mixture and continue to roll up tightly. Place seam side down on a prepared oil spayed air fryer basket, or pan if baking. Continue for each flauta.
After all the flautas are rolled spray generously with cooking spray.
Air fry or Bake at 425° for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
Remove and serve warm along with additional ingredients for topping or dipping.
Enjoy!
