Chicken Flautas From Serrano's Cafe
Recipes » Main Dish » Poultry - Chicken
This is our secret recipe for Flautas, the secret is parmesan cheese, I know, you are saying "huh", that's not Mexican, well after you taste them, then you will see how good they taste, you can also add other things inside, but I would make them like this first so you can see what might go good with them for next time. You can also add more cheese, I am a very light cheese eater now, so I always use less. To make these even more wonderful, add some sour cream and a dallop of guacamole and some shredded lettuce.
"These were fantastic. I don't have garlic salt so I just used garlic instead, I also don't own a food processor so I grated the onion finely and chopped the cooked chicken. But best of all these are super easy to make gluten free by using brown rice tortillas in lieu of flour. Make sure you heat them before attempting to roll them or they crack. Served with mexican rice and black beans they were a hit!!!" - boatgirlYield: 6 Ready in 1 hours, 45 minutes

Chicken Flautas From Serrano's Cafe Preparation
I fillet the breast with a knife, each breast in 3 slices so that they cook quicker, put salt, pepper, garlic salt on each fillet.
Cook chicken breast in a heated saute pan with butter, oil,. Let cool, save juices
In food processor, put in onion, and process until minced, set aside in a bowl, then cut chicken in pieces and process them as well until minced, you may have to do a few batches. Once they are minced, add them to the onion, add any chicken juices to the mix, then add your cheese and mix well, add some salt and pepper and taste, it should bond together like meat loaf, that is the perfect consistency.
Take your tortillas and heat them on open fire, both sides, get a few brown spots on there, that is good for flavor, line up your tortillas and divide your mix among the 6 tortillas. If you have extra then just make another one.
On a separate plate sprinkle a good portion of parmesan cheese for rolling.
Roll up tortilla faily tight without breaking them, when they are all rolled, keep them seam side down on counter until you are ready to cook….heat your oil and butter up in a sauté pan, high heat and cook 3 at a time, use 2 spoons to roll them as they cook, you can lean them up on each other as you cook them on all sides, its very easy, you want them brown, not burned, so just kind of keep rolling them, when they look fantastic, take them out and set them in the parmesan cheese and roll them, covering them generously, put them on a serving platter. You can heat them in the micro if you need to keep them hot.

I recommend pairing it (i.e., SIMULTANEOUSLY) with this recipe
I served these with Serrano's cafe mexican rice and my home made beans. You can put some sour cream in a squeeze bottle and make a nice design on your plate for presentation!
