Flautas de pollo are a Mexican dish made with shredded chicken, garlic, onion, tomato, and green chili peppers, fried in oil and served with salsa fresca or guacamole.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

12 corn tortillas
1 whole chicken breast, shredded
1 clove garlic, diced
1/3 large onion, diced
1 large ripe red tomato, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt, to taste
2 small green chili peppers, diced

ACCOMPANIMENTS

salsa fresca
OR
guacamole
creme fraiche

GUACAMOLE

1 clove garlic
1 small hot green pepper
2 avocados, peeled, seeded and mashed
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, minced
1 small onion, diced
black pepper, to taste

directions

In a small pan, saute the garlic and onion in the oil until translucent. Add the tomato and pepper and continue frying. Add the chicken, salt and pepper. Fry for 3-4 more minutes. Remove from heat.

In another fry pan, heat about 1" corn oil on medium high. The tortillas you use should be of good quality, thin, and 6-7" long. If you use those grocery store kind from the plastic bags, they will be too thick and will crack when you roll them.

In each tortilla, place 1 heaping tbsp of the chicken filling. Carefully roll them up, as tightly as possible. Secure with 3-4 toothpicks.

Fry each in the oil until the tortilla is hard and a golden color. Continue until all flautas are made.

For Guacamole: On a griddle, toast garlic and hot green pepper. Remove the garlic from the skin, and place it and the pepper, stem removed, in a molcajete. Mash them up. Add avocados, peeled and seed removed, one at a time and mash them also.

In a small bowl, place the above, along with cilantro, onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Stick the seeds back in to prevent discoloration.
