Flautas

We love Flautas in our home and we love this recipe~
Ingredients: oil, can chicken, black beans, tortillas, onion powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, chili powder. Preheat oven to 350 . Wrap tortillas tightly in foil. Heat in oven 10 minutes or until heated through.
While the tortilla are cooking, make the filling. In a large skillet put oil, & black beans.
Add chicken.
Add salsa.
Stir in all spices. Heat until all ingredients are hot and mixed well.

Spoon about 1/2 cup of filling mixture into a warm tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly.
Secure tortilla closed with wooden toothpicks.
In a very large, deep skillet, heat 1 1/2 inches of cooking oil.
Fry flautas, two at a time, for 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp and golden brown, turning once. Drain on a paper towel. Keep fried flautas warm in a 300 degree oven while frying remaining flautas.
To serve, remove toothpicks; halve flautas crosswise, and enjoy!!!

Flautas:
6 10-inch flour tortillas
1 teaspoon cooking oil
1 can or 2 cups chicken
1 can of black beans or approximately 1 1/2 -2 cups of beans
1/2 cup bottled salsa
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Cooking oil for frying

Preheat oven to 350. wrap tortillas tightly in foil. Heat for 10 minutes or until heated through.
In a large skillet cook oil, beans, chicken, and spices until heated. Spoon about a 1/2 cup of filling into each warm tortilla. Roll tortilla tightly and secure with wooden toothpicks.
In a very large, deep skillet, heat 1 1/2 inches of cooking oil. Fry flautas, two at a time, for 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp and golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Keep fried flautas warm in a 300 oven while frying remaining flautas.
Remove toothpicks and serve...

If you prefer to bake them you can place on a baking sheet and brush with cooking oil. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown and heated through.

We serve these with cheese, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole... for obvious reasons these things are not food storage friendly! Hope you enjoy!
