Easy Chicken Flautas

Recipe View In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour until smooth, creating a roux. Add the minced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent (5-10 minutes).

Recipe View Incorporate the chopped black olives, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of oil, paprika, black pepper, and salt into the skillet. Continue to cook and stir until all ingredients are heated through and well combined (approximately 2 minutes).

Recipe View Introduce the cooked shredded chicken to the mixture. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated with the savory sauce. Remove the skillet from the heat and cover to keep warm.

Recipe View In a large, heavy saucepan or deep fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).

Recipe View Take each flour tortilla and fill it with a generous portion of the chicken mixture. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure it with a toothpick to prevent it from unraveling during frying.

Recipe View Carefully place the rolled tortillas into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking (about 2 minutes per batch).

Recipe View Use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer the fried flautas to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy!
