Flautas – How to Make Chicken Flautas

 

Ingredients:

Flautas:

2 cups shredded chicken (a rotisserie works great)

1 roma tomato

½ of a white onion

2 garlic cloves

1-cup chopped NM green chile

1-cup chicken broth

1 parboiled potato, shredded

1-teaspoon salt

6 – 8 very thin medium sized flour tortillas

Canola oil spray

Avocado Cream Sauce:

2 avocados

½ of a small yellow onion

1 garlic clove

½-cup mayonnaise

1 cup chopped green chile

 

Directions:

Roast tomato, white onion and garlic on a cast iron pan until charred.  Next you will blend tomato, onion, garlic, green chile on medium high until very smooth.  Add chile sauce to a pan and mix in the chicken broth and salt.  Cook for about 20 minutes.  Meanwhile let’s prepare the avocado sauce. 

Add all ingredients for the avocado cream sauce to a blender, and blend until creamy and smooth.  It should be the consistency of pancake batter.  If it is too thick, add a little water, and if it too thin, add a little more mayonnaise.  Set aside. 

Once the chile sauce has cooked and reduced, add shredded chicken and stir to incorporate completely.  Now add the shredded potatoes and stir to combine.  Let the mixture cool completely, about 30 minutes. 

To roll out the flautas, lay your tortilla on a flat surface (I used my cutting board).  Layer the filling at the top of the tortilla and roll it out tucking the filling so it doesn’t fall out.  Put flautas seam side down on a plate until they are all rolled out.  Transfer to the air fryer, seam side down and spray with canola oil.  Cook on 325 for 20 minutes, turning them over halfway through. 

Once done, let them cool slightly and enjoy with the avocado cream sauce!
