Guilt free, easy and so good! This came in an email from the Hungry Girl site. When I make it I leave out the cilantro and salt, use an additional dash of garlic powder and cumin and just a pinch of cayenne. I use Pace Picante in medium heat, and usually replace the fat-free cheese for low-fat. The recipe is easily doubled or trippled. Sometimes the corn tortillas crack upon baking; doesn't impact the taste but not presentation perfect. I serve this with fat-free sour cream and salsa. Yum! Ingredients:
1/4 cup picante sauce |
1/4 cup fat-free cheddar cheese, shredded |
3 ounces skinless chicken breasts, cooked and finely chopped |
3 tablespoons onions, diced |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/8 teaspoon salt (optional) |
4 corn tortillas, 6 inch size |
2 teaspoons cilantro, chopped (optional) |
nonfat sour cream (optional) |
salsa (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, combine picante sauce and cheese; mix well.
3. In another bowl, combine chicken, onion, and seasonings; mix well.
4. Dampen two paper towels, and place tortillas between them. Microwave for about 1 minute, until tortillas are warm and pliable. You'll work with 1 tortilla at a time and keep remaining tortillas between the paper towels until ready to fill and roll up.
5. Spread about 1 tbsp of the saucy cheese mixture onto the bottom third of a corn tortilla. Top with about 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoons cilantro. Tightly roll tortilla up from the bottom around the filling. Repeat with remaining tortillas, cheese mixture, chicken mixture, and cilantro, for a total of 4 flautas.
6. Carefully place flautas, seam side down, on a baking sheet that has been lightly coated with non-stick spray. Spray the tops with nonstick spray.
7. Bake in the oven until tortilla edges are lightly browned and crispy, 15 - 20 minutes.
8. Serve wtih salsa and fat-free sour cream.
