Provided by Meghan Storey

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 bottle (12 ounces) beer
2 cups water
1 tsp Kosher salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 jalapeño pepper, minced
2 cups baby spinach, chopped
12 flour tortillas (8 inch)
6 ounces shredded Colby jack cheese
cooking spray

Steps:

  • To make these flautas, preheat oven to 450°F. In a large saucepan, combine the brown ale, water, salt, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder and half of the jalapeño. Add the chicken to the pan and bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the chicken and shred with two forks or add it to the bowl of your KitchenAid mixer with the paddle attachment and let her go. Pour out all but 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the remainingjalapeño and spinach; cook over low heat for a couple minutes, until the spinach is wilted. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture near the edge of the tortilla. Add a spoonful of spinach and cheese over top of the chicken. Roll the tortilla up tightly. Place seam-side down on a greased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spray the prepared flautas with cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes, flip over and back for 5 to 10 minutes more until the tortillas are golden brown. Serve with sour cream, guacamole and salsa.

A vegetarian take on a classic Mexican dish. These delicious flautas are baked until crispy using cooking spray instead of vegetable oil to "fry" the tortillas. Topped with plain Greek yogurt for a wholesome and tasty alternative to sour cream.

BAKED CHICKEN AND SPINACH FLAUTAS FROM HEALTHY. DELICIOUS.



Baked Chicken and Spinach Flautas from Healthy. Delicious. image

I found this recipe online: Baked flautas/taquitos stuffed with seasoned, shredded chicken, spinach, and cheese are crispy, but don't have the greasiness of fried versions. To shred poached chicken easily, put it into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium for 45 seconds. Store-bought rotisserie chicken can be substituted for the poached chicken to save time.

BAKED CHICKEN FLAUTAS



Baked Chicken Flautas image

I grew up in the kitchen eating Mexican food every day and never got tired of it. These are a great dish for "Mexican or Taco Night." They are easy to eat and what kid doesn't like chicken tacos (that's what my 8-year-old brother calls them). Others prefer to microwave the tortillas, roll up the flautas, and then deep-fry them. Baking them just makes me feel a tad less guilty. I like to serve these with refried beans, fresh lettuce, green salsa, and top it off with more shredded cheese and sour cream.

Time 1h15m

Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ medium onion, cut into chunks
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (1.41 ounce) package sazon seasoning with saffron (such as Goya® Azafran)
½ cup vegetable oil for frying
14 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts, onion, garlic, and salt in a deep pot. Cover with water and cook over medium heat, adding water if it starts to get low, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat and shred chicken with 2 forks. Reserve 1/2 cup stock.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add shredded chicken and sazon seasoning. Add the reserved chicken stock, stir well, and reduce heat. Cook until all stock has evaporated. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place another frying pan over medium heat with 1/2 cup of vegetable oil. Begin frying corn tortillas one at a time until soft, but not crispy, 30 seconds to 1 minute, flipping once. Place the tortillas aside as you fry them.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of cooked chicken on one end of each tortilla along with 1 tablespoon of Monterey Jack cheese. Roll into flautas and place side by side on a cookie sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
