Flautas

Flautas is what the initial recipe was for, but I decided not to fry mine! I wrapped up my tortillas with everything and grilled them on the stove! They turned out great, next time I will try the frying!

The chicken shredded perfectly from the crock pot and it had great flavor!
Grilling instead of frying!! Super simple and really good chicken!

Flautas
(from Realmomkitchen)
3 chicken breasts
1 tbsp fajita seasoning (or your own combination of Mexican seasonings
1 tsp garlic salt
10 flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheese
oil for deep frying
toothpicks
toppings of your choice to dip them in such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, etc.
____________________________________________________________
Place your chicken in a crock pot with the fajita seasoning and garlic salt and cook on low for at least 6 hours. About 1 hour before you want to eat, remove chicken from the crock pot. Shred the chicken and allow to cool for about 30 minutes. Then mix in shredded cheese. Now it's time to fill the tortillas. Warm your tortillas in the microwave. They will be easier to roll up. Put some of the chicken at one end of the tortillas and roll up jelly-roll style and secure with a toothpick. Then deep fry these until golden brown and enjoy dipping them in whatever you like!
