Instructions

Flautas

  • Preheat oil over medium heat to 350˚F. Place chicken into a mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Pour olive oil into a medium sauté pan and place over medium-high heat. Add onion, poblano and corn and sauté for about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (if using canned or frozen corn, add after sautéing onion and poblano for 5 minutes)
  • Pour onion mixture over chicken and toss together.
  • Add remaining filling ingredients to chicken and onion mixture and stir together until mixed together. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place a heaping 1/4 cup of the filling into one of the tortillas, off to the side a bit, and form mixture into an even log.
  • Tightly roll tortilla and secure with a toothpick or two and transfer to a baking sheet.
  • Repeat until all of the tortillas and filling have been used.
  • Fry flautas, a few at a time, until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a cooling rack lined baking sheet. Repeat until all flautas have been fried. Serve with dipping sauce.

Spicy Dipping Sauce

  • Place all ingredients into a bowl.
  • Whisk together until fully combined. Set aside until ready to use.
