Think about it, why do you think mothers and grandmothers spend as much time cooking and preparing their many healthy delicious meals at home? The secret to getting your family to sit at the table and eat together too is your ability to cook exceptionally delicious and healthy meals for them. I’m a recipe collector, and it’s not that I’m a food snob – I like to make sure that I can usually prepare a much healthier version of something that we can eat at their house. I was pretty interested in this particular recipe I found on https://thefoodxp.com/flautas-recipe/ because I couldn’t believe that you could make flautas without pan-frying it, or at least frying! But with a tiny tweaking, I found that this recipe is not only quick and easy but delicious and healthy.

Ingredients

The ingredients I found on the site are listed below:

Olive or canola oil (or vegetable oil spray)
Whole chicken breasts split, skinned, and boned
A cup of Picante sauce
Four tablespoons of chopped green onion
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
8 pieces of 7-8 inch flour tortillas, toasted
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese

Instructions

Heat tortillas in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes (Or reheat in the microwave and wrap loosely in paper towels). Pat chicken until about 1/2 inch thick. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; mix well. Roll up well and place in pan, seam side down. Remove toothpick, plate, and serve.

Healthier Substitutes

No recipe could become one of my favorites if I couldn’t modify it to a healthier version! I have found the items that come in to be fantastic additions or variations. By the way, the recipe didn’t call for spraying the flutes or drizzling them with oil, but I thought they were crispier that way. A great way to serve the flautas is to cut them in half and then add salsa, guacamole, or salsa to the center in a small pile or bowl. Fan out the flautas in a star shape around the center (see image below). Fan out the star-shaped flautas around the center.

Overview

Flautas are a great thing to have for dinner. They are a hit to hold a healthy meal, and they make a great appetizer. Just look at how they evaporate. This healthy recipe is achievable, and I made it in about ten minutes. Shredded meat of any kind or beans is just as good in this dish while substituting lean corn tortillas worked great. In short, let your imagination run wild and enjoy! This recipe is a super simple solution for an already delicious dinner or snack. It has become one of my favorite healthy recipes.
