01 Step
Recipe View
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, picante sauce, and ground cumin. Mix well until thoroughly combined. (5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
In a small skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Quickly dip each corn tortilla in the hot oil for 1-2 seconds per side to soften. This prevents cracking when rolling. Transfer softened tortillas to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. (15 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of a softened tortilla. Sprinkle a generous amount of both Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese over the chicken. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it on a lightly greased baking sheet, seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. (20 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
If you have any leftover cheese, sprinkle it over the tops of the rolled flautas for extra cheesy goodness.
06 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-25 minutes, or until the flautas are crispy, golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly. (20 minutes)
For a spicier kick, use a hotter picante sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
To make ahead, assemble the flautas and store them in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Experiment with different cheeses! Pepper jack, Oaxaca, or a Mexican blend would all be delicious.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with cooked and seasoned black beans or pinto beans.
