Flautas are also known as rolled tacos. These tasty chicken flautas are the best. I learned how to make them, and my husband loved them.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup minced onion
- ¼ cup chopped black olives
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon oil
- ¼ teaspoon ground paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups cooked shredded chicken
- oil for frying, or as needed
- 8 flour tortillas
- toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in flour until smooth. Add onion; cook and stir until onion is softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add black olives, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon oil, paprika, black pepper, and salt; cook and stir until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in chicken; remove the skillet from heat and cover.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan or deep fryer over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Fill tortillas with chicken mixture. Roll tortilla around filling and secure with a toothpick.
Step 5
Working in batches, fry rolled tortillas in hot oil until browned, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer tortillas to a paper towel-lined plate; serve warm.
Editor’s Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
