Chicken Flautas!

Easy and delicious and so good with fresh guac to dip them in!

To make you'll need:

Flour tortillas
boneless, skinless chicken breasts
chicken stock
small can diced green chiles
pinch ancho chile powder
onion salt or an onion bouillon cube

Sour cream
Salsa
Fresh Guacamole

Poach the chicken breasts in some stock. Not too much, because once they're cooked
through you'll want to cook down the stock to a thick, syrup-y texture. Add the ancho
and the onion salt/bouillon with the chicken. When it's cooked through, remove from
the stock and let set until cool enough to handle, then shred. Shred with two forks,
while you reduce the stock. Add back to the pan and toss to coat evenly with the
reduced stock. Add the (drained) green chiles if desired. Roll in flour tortillas and
secure with a toothpick. If you're like me, you've used about 5 or 6 chicken breast
halves, so you have alot of tortillas to fill :-)
Once you have all the rolling done, heat about an inch of oil in a skillet large
enough to lay the rolled tortillas in. Cooking 3 at a time, cook all of the flautas
until deep golden, rolling to cook evenly. Drain well on paper towels before serving.

I agree that flautas are great with guacamole. I've always seen them
with corn tortillas, though. Is the use of flour tortillas what
distinguishes flautas from taquitos?

Speaking of taquitos, TJ sells a variety of taquitos that go well with
guac. They can be just heated or fried. We like the one with black
beans. -aem

That's my take on it. My brother used to work at a restaurant called La Casita. They
introduced him, and he us, to flautas, and to fried tacos. Very, very decadent, fried
tacos.. hehe. The flautas were always in flour tortillas, which I prefer, and the
taquitos always in corn. Chimichangas were in flour, and tacos could be either. The
fried tacos we had were in flour, so just one was filling, but sooooo good. Not
something I'd eat every day, definitely!!

Thanks for the bit about TJ's...I love black beans, so I will be wanting to check
those out next time I go. Which, all things considered, will likely be tomorrow
