Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken breast, chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

   Yaklaşık 5 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Ensure the chicken is well shredded for easier rolling.

2. 2

   Warm the corn tortillas slightly in a microwave or on a dry skillet to make them pliable, about 10-15 seconds per side.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Warm tortillas prevent cracking when rolled.

3. 3

   Place a small amount of the chicken mixture near one edge of each warm tortilla.

   Yaklaşık 5 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Do not overfill, or they will be hard to roll and might burst.

4. 4

   Roll each tortilla tightly into a cigar shape and secure with a toothpick if necessary.

   Yaklaşık 3 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Roll as tightly as possible to keep the filling secure during frying.

5. 5

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F).

   Yaklaşık 5 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for even cooking.

6. 6

   Carefully place a few flautas into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Frying in batches helps maintain oil temperature and ensures even crisping.

7. 7

   Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

   Yaklaşık 6 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Turn them gently with tongs to ensure all sides are evenly browned.

8. 8

   Remove the flautas from the oil and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Draining well helps keep them crispy.

9. 9

   Serve immediately with sour cream and salsa on the side.
