And, although Rob and I have recently found our favorite Mexican restaurant in this "new" town of ours, we can't justify the cost or calories of going too often.
So, here's our make-at-home answer... chicken flautas with a pick-two combination of black beans, fire-roasted corn, cilantro lime rice, and baked tortilla strips.
Chicken Flautas
Time: 10 minutes prep. 15 minutes cooking.
Servings: 2 or more, depending on how many you make
Ingredients:
- 8" flour tortillas, 2 per person
- cooking spray
- Southwestern flavored chicken strips, we've tried several and found we like the Oscar Mayer DeliFresh brand best
Optional add-ins:
- salsa
- chopped onions... about half of a small onion does the trick for us
- chopped cilantro
- squirt of lime juice
- shredded cheese... if you're into that sort of thing
- avocado slices/guacamole
- other taco-like toppings
Directions:
Spray the tops and bottoms of the tortillas with the cooking spray. Fill the tortillas with chicken and other tasty toppings. Roll them up. Garnish the top with a handful of shredded cheese.
Bake on a cookie sheet at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes.
These look yummy!!! And kind of gourmet, too...I'm impressed. Side note: I thank you for making the ingredient list look manageable! :)
