Best Sauteed Veggie Flautas Recipes

CHICKEN FLAUTAS

Steps:

• Add the salsa, sour cream, green chilies and all seasonings to a large bowl (except cayenne); stir to combine. Stir in chicken followed by cheeses. Season with cayenne pepper to taste (optional), keeping in mind the flavor will mellow in the tortillas.
• If using lower quality tortillas, stack 6 together and top with a dampened paper towel. Microwave for 60 seconds so they're more pliable and easier to roll. Fill, roll and repeat.
• To assemble, lay 12-14 tortillas on a flat surface. Add approximately 3 tablespoons filling to the bottom third of each tortilla then tightly roll up tortillas and place them seam side down.

SAUTEED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and heat. Add the garlic and saute, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the all of the vegetables and cook until just starting to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add the oregano, soy sauce and chicken stock and stir well and cook just until vegetables are wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.

VEGGIE FLAUTAS WITH SKINNY GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Saute the portobello strips.
• Soften the tortillas by warming them, one at a time, on a comal or a 9" cast iron skillet.
• Place strips of portobello down the center of each softened tortilla and tightly roll up the tortilla as if it were a cigar.
• Seal rolled tortilla with 2 or 3 tooth picks.
• Coat the rolled tortillas on all sides with butter flavored cooking spray, or paint lightly with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt.
• Place seam side down on a baking dish.
• Bake in a preheated 375 F oven until crisp, about 20 minutes.
• Skinny Guacamole:.
• Using a blender or food processor, process the tomatillos with the garlic, chiles and cilantro to a puree.
• Add the avocado, in pieces, and the sour cream, processing just enough to combine.
• Season to taste with salt, pepper and fresh lemon juice.
• Rinse scallions with cold water, chop with a knife, and stir in by hand.
• To assemble the dish, place a layer of shredded (or chopped) lettuce on each plate along with diced fresh tomatoes.
• Top with 3 baked flautas per plate.
• Serve the guacamole in individual dipping bowls or drizzle on top of flautas.
• Serve with bottled picante sauce.

MASHED POTATO AND POBLANO FLAUTAS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove potatoes from the oven and allow to cool, about 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Peel away and discard potato skins. Transfer potato flesh to a large bowl.
• Lightly spray a nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute poblano and onion until the onion is translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin seeds, salt, and pepper; saute for 4 more minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Add onion mixture to the cooked potato. Add almond milk and mash well. Some visible chunks are fine.
• Place 2 tablespoons of potato filling in a tortilla and roll it up tightly. Place flauta on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining filling and tortillas. Lightly spray the flautas with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the tortillas are brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes, turning the pan halfway through for even cooking.

VEGETABLE SAUTE

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, eggplant, mushrooms, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggplant begins to brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add zucchini, water, and tomato puree, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until eggplant is tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in beans, vinegar, and parsley, and cook just until heated through, about 5 minutes.
