– 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover) – 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or blend) – ½ teaspoon cumin – ½ teaspoon garlic powder – Salt and pepper to taste – 8 small flour tortillas – Cooking spray or olive oil – Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa
1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil to prevent sticking.
2
In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheese, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
3
Spoon filling onto tortillas, roll tightly, and place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
4
Lightly brush or spray rolled flautas with olive oil or cooking spray. This helps them bake to a golden, crispy finish.
5
Bake for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through if needed, until the flautas are crispy and golden brown on all sides.
6
Serve immediately with sour cream, guacamole, or your favorite salsa. They’re great as appetizers or a main course.
