Ingredients

For the flautas:

  • 3 1/2 cups shredded chicken (can use rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 white onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Spanglish Asadero Pollo Asado seasoning
  • 20 corn tortillas
  • 1 1/2 cups oil, for frying

For the cups:

  • Shredded lettuce
  • White onion, chopped
  • Crema or sour cream
  • Salsa verde
  • Queso Fresco

Pollo Asado
Directions
  1. Heat a medium frying pan, then add the oil. Once hot, add the onion and saute until soft. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add the chicken and season with the Pollo Asado seasoning, stirring to combine everything well. Set aside.
  3. Heat the corn tortillas on the stovetop or in a frying pan, making sure they're warm enough to be easily pliable.
  4. Place a tortilla flat on a surface and add some chicken to one side.
  5. Roll the tortilla tightly into a tube-like shape. Place it seam-side down or secure it with a toothpick. Repeat until all tortillas and filling are used.
  6. In a deep skillet or pot, heat the oil. Fry the flautas in batches until golden and crisp, removing to a paper towel-lined plate or sheet pan when done.
  7. Next, add some salsa verde to each cup.
  8. Place 3-4 flautas in the salsa verde, then add your toppings.
  9. Enjoy!
