Ingredients
For Flautas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ¾ cup corn canned and drained
- 2 chicken breasts I used 2 chicken breasts from a roasted chicken, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup salsa store bought
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1½ cups Tex Mex or Mexican cheese blend, I used Kraft
- 10 flour tortillas 6 inch
- ¼ cup butter unsalted, melted
For Guacamole
- 1 avocado
- 1 medium tomato
- ½ Jalapeno pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime juice from 1/2 lime
- 1 tablespoon cilantro chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉.
- In a medium size skillet heat the olive oil. Add onion and garlic and cook until onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Add corn to skillet and cook for another 2 minutes. Add shredded chicken, salsa and sour cream, stir and cook for about 3 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheese.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds so that they're easier to roll. The chicken mixture should be enough to fill 10 tortillas.
- Butter a 9x13 inch baking with some of the melted butter. Lay a tortilla flat and top with a couple tablespoons of the chicken mixture. Tightly roll up the tortilla and place it in the baking dish. Brush with melted butter. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until tortillas turn golden brown.
- While the flautas are baking, make the guacamole. In a small bowl mash the avocado then add the rest of the ingredients and stir well.
- Serve guacamole over flautas and enjoy.
