Baked Chicken Flautas (I Eat Therefore I Cook)

Flautas don’t have to be a greasy mess. Yes, greasy messes are quite delicious but not quite as healthy as these guys. Mix some rotisserie chicken with chiles and cheese. Add to flour tortillas and make the sauce. The key here is to make sure to pickle to onions. Pickled onions are not just for hipsters. These are quick and effortless to make. Throw some queso fresco on top and enjoy.

Add the chicken, chiles and cheese to the flour tortillas.

Roll tightly and put two flautas next to each other. Add toothpicks onto either side.

Spray baking sheet with olive oil spray. Place flautas on tray. Spray tops with spray.

Make chipotle crema in a small bowl.

Set aside and place in fridge until ready to serve.

Pickle the red onions in red wine vinegar.
