UNFRIED CHICKEN FLAUTAS WITH CHEESE SAUCE



Unfried Chicken Flautas With Cheese Sauce image

My husband is hispanic and started making these shortly after we were married. I was suprised that most of the flauta recipes on here called for deep frying them! We've always baked them! Also, instead of dipping each tortilla in oil, you can coat both sides with cooking spray--just heat tortillas in the microwave first--it should work just the same. Also, your chicken breast size will determine how many you actually make (I estimated what we normally make) You can use whatever fillings you want and add whatever you'd like...this is just the base of what we typically use.

Provided by Escamilla06

Categories     Mexican

Time 50m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope taco seasoning
12 corn tortillas
vegetable oil
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
8 ounces Velveeta cheese
1 (10 ounce) can rotel
milk or water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • In a skillet, cook chicken through. Add seasoning per envelope directions. Set aside.
  • In a smaller skillet, fill up to halfway with vegetable oil, heat until hot. Quickly dip each corn tortilla into the oil, letting oil set in (about 2-5 seconds). Place on a paper-towel on a heat-proof plate. Repeat until all have been heated.
  • On a workspace, place one tortilla (Be careful, as the tortillas may be VERY hot). Spoon 1-2 Tablespoons of chicken onto center of tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese and roll up tortilla (ends will be open). Place seam-side down on a cookie sheet. Repeat until all have been used.
  • Place in oven, bake about 15-20 minutes or until slightly golden brown and crispy.
  • For cheese sauce, in a microwave-safe bowl, place velveeta cheese. Melt in microwave. Add Rotel to taste, and milk or water to thin.
  • Tip: If you have leftover tortillas, cut them into wedges and bake for 5-10 minutes until crispy for chips.

UNFRIED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS RECIPE | EPICURIOUS.COM



Unfried Chicken with Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe | Epicurious.com image

With tongue in cheek, I call this chicken "unfried." That's because I am well known for fried chicken, which may be the crown jewel of southern cooking but is a dish I avoid these days. I like unfried chicken just as much. The chicken is soaked in tangy buttermilk and then coated with flavorful breading, just like fried chicken. The difference is that it's baked. This dish was on the menu at LYFE Kitchen. I first prepared it when Oprah's movie Beloved opened. One of the many lessons I learned from Oprah is to offer people a choice at meals, and one of those choices should be a healthy one. To this day I honor that lesson in my home and my restaurants.
