Chicken flautas are a staple in our house! You’ll love this recipe, along with our beef version and our favorite Taquitos.
Who Doesn’t Flautas?
Similar to Taquitos, chicken flautas are rolled, filled, and fried, but use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas. We’ve made flautas my entire life, and I’m so grateful that this dish (whether it’s an appetizer or main dish) is also loved by my own family! We love to serve it with some of our go-to dips and salsas and love to make these for any fiesta we are having. Why we love them:
Taste and texture. The combination of the crunchy, fluffy exterior and the flavorful filling creates a delightful combination that is so addicting! On the table in no time. This Mexican dinner favorite is on the table in under 30 minutes! Flavor change up. With a wide range of toppings and variations, such as using shredded beef or pork instead of chicken, this dish can cater to different tastes.
