I borrowed this amazing picture from Six Sisters Stuff - the source of this recipe. This is an easy and delicious dinner idea that we've had a few times since I discovered it a few months back.
Baked Chicken Flautas
- 4 cups cooked and shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 1 cup salsa verde (the green salsa)
- 1 (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
- 1 1/2 cups colby jack shredded cheese, divided
- 12-14 flour tortillas (soft taco size)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a large baking sheet (15x10x1") with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together chicken, salsa, cream cheese, black beans, corn, and 1 cup shredded cheese.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture and roll up, then place seam-side down on the prepared pan. Repeat this process until all the chicken mixture is used up.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of tortillas and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tortillas start to turn golden brown (the edges of the tortilla will turn golden first).
- Remove from oven and serve with your favorite toppings (salsa, guacamole, sour cream, lettuce, etc).
