Low-Carb Chicken Flautas

Ingredients

• Mission 0 net carb tortillas: These tortillas are a fantastic low-carb alternative, allowing you to enjoy the flavors and textures of traditional flautas without the guilt.

• Rotisserie chicken: Tender, juicy, and already cooked, rotisserie chicken saves you time and adds delicious flavor to these flautas. Feel free to use leftover roasted or grilled chicken as well.

• Shredded cheese: We recommend using a blend of Mexican and Oaxaca cheeses for an authentic and delightful taste. However, you can use any cheese of your preference.

• Avocado oil: This healthy oil adds a touch of richness and helps achieve that lovely crispy texture when baking or frying the flautas.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. If you prefer a crispy texture, you can preheat a skillet with avocado oil over medium heat for frying.

2. Shred the rotisserie chicken into small, bite-sized pieces. Remove the skin and bones beforehand.

3. Warm the tortillas for a few seconds in the microwave or in a skillet until they become pliable (this will prevent them from breaking while rolling).

4. Place a generous amount of shredded chicken along the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle a handful of the shredded cheese on top of the chicken.

5. Gently roll each tortilla into a tight cylinder, securing the filling inside. If you're frying the flautas, you can seal the edges with toothpicks to hold them together.

6. If baking, place the flautas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down. Brush them lightly with avocado oil for a golden and crispy exterior. Bake the flautas for approximately 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

8. If frying, carefully place the flautas in the preheated skillet with avocado oil. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes per side or until they become golden and crispy. Remember to remove the toothpicks if you used them.

9. Once the flautas are done, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Serving Suggestions

Low-carb chicken flautas pair wonderfully with a variety of delicious dips and accompaniments. Here are a few suggestions:

• Salsa: Opt for a spicy salsa with tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and herbs to add a burst of flavor.

• Sour Cream: Serve a dollop of sour cream on the side for a cool and creamy contrast.

• Lime Wedges: Squeeze some fresh lime juice over the flautas for a zesty twist.
