The Art of Making Delicious Flautas: A Step-by-Step Guide

To begin with, we need to hook up with all of our flavor for our flautas. This involves adding some red onions to our pan and then half of our jalapenos as well. We also add a pinch of cayenne pepper and some cumin, which I personally love because it really brings out the flavors in this dish. The cumin adds a nice warmth and depth to the flautas, while the cayenne provides just the right amount of heat.

Next, we want to get some garlic in there as well. Simply grate the garlic into your pan and let it start smelling everything. This is going to make the aroma of our flautas incredible. Now that we have our aromatics in place, let's add a cup of salsa to the pan. I like to use store-bought salsa because it adds just the right amount of flavor to bring our chicken back to life. You can also use leftover rotisserie chicken and shred it from the bones for an even more authentic taste.

To tie everything together, we'll add some cheese - a cheddar jack blend that complements the red onions and jalapenos nicely. We'll also sprinkle in some cumin again because why not? It's that good! However, before we can proceed, let's add a little bit of lime juice to give our flautas a bit of zing.

Now that we have our mixture ready, it's time to wrap our flour tortillas around it. I like to use six-inch tortillas because they're just the right size for a delicious filling. We'll fill each tortilla with just a little scoop of our chicken mixture and then secure it with a toothpick so everything stays in place.

As we start assembling our flautas, we want to make sure not to overcrowd the oil in our pan. We'll work in batches to ensure that each tortilla has enough room to cook evenly. The goal is to achieve that golden brown color on both sides of our flautas - it's what makes them truly special.

With our flautas almost ready, let's now start working on our sauce. We're going to make an avocado sauce because it's a game-changer! By simply dunking our flautas in the sauce, we get that perfect blend of creaminess and flavor without having to do all the work of making guacamole from scratch.

To finish off our article, I'll say it again: this is the perfect recipe for anyone looking to make delicious homemade flautas. With a little bit of practice and patience, you can master this dish and impress your friends and family with its incredible flavor.
