Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
12 small corn tortillas
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Sour cream, avocado, or salsa for serving

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheese, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Assemble the Flautas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side to make them pliable. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto one end of each tortilla, then roll tightly.
Bake: Place the rolled flautas seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving with your favorite toppings like sour cream, avocado, or salsa.
