Easy after work meal. Flautas are thin, flute like tubes filled with meat and cheese which is where the name of these taste treats come from. Flauta means flute in Spanish and makes a delicious meal served with Spanish rice and refried beans topped with melted cheese.

    Cook filled tortillas over medium heat in a 10 inch skillet 4 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally until filling is hot and tortillas are toasted.

What a great way to use up leftover chicken. Too easy. I burnt mine because I was trying to cook and chase a toddler at the same time! LOL. They were still yummy.

    I need to give props to "Oven flautas" from this site beacause I used some of the seasoning ideas from it! (chili powder, oregano, more cumin, garlic powder-gave it a nice kick!) I used taco sauce for the salsa, low fat cheese & a whole wheat tortilla. I cooked this in the skillet (my first time; usually I pop it in the oven!). It worked great but I should have cooked it longer to really get it crispy but I was distracted with other food preps & was afraid of burning it! Next time I will watch it closer . I was craving those resturant type flautas & this was a nice substitute; thank u for sharing.

    Hi Karen of Colorado, this was really very good! We did need more cheese than called for - also, as some other reviwer said, there really wasn't enough to go around if you don't measure ahead of time. Next time I thin I'll use 1 cup of chicken and up the rest of the recipe a bit. Will also add a little heat to give it that extra zing! However, I'd like to say that the residents enjoyed it very much. Thanks for posting, Diane

    wonderfull, exactly what I was looking for. Made a heap, ate 2 last night and froze the rest. Ray doesnt care for cummin, but he liked it. 2 things though, I tried to do them in a frypan and burnt one side a little, I think next time I will do them in the oven, or a sandwhich press. The other thing is that you really cant put a 1/4 of the chicken mixture on each tortilla, or the last two dont get any ) I used home made tomato relish, and Hot pepper Jelly I got from here, very very good thanks again
