I know that plenty of restaurants serve something very similar to this and call them "Egg Rolls," but the fact is these are not an Asian dish, they aren't made with egg roll skins, and are actually nothing like egg rolls! These, my friend, are flautas. A Mexican dish with a southwest flair.. But only because of the use black beans ;)These little bundles of cheesy chicken goodness are a quick and easy family pleasing meal. With just a few simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand in the fridge and pantry you can pull this together quickly and easily on a busy weeknight. Whip up a batch of Gringo Mexican Rice while they're baking and the meal is complete!
Ingredients:
1 can chunk chicken (or 1 cup diced, cooked chicken)
1/2 cup corn
1/2 cup (1 small) diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup salsa (I used mild Pace picante sauce)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 cup shredded cheese
12-14 fajita size flour tortillas
1 additional cup of cheese to top each flauta filling with more cheese
Directions:
Mix the chicken, corn, beans, red peppers, cumin, salsa and 1 cup of cheese in a large mixing bowl.
Fill each tortilla with 1/4 scoop of the chicken mix.
Top with an additional Tbs or so of shredded cheese.
Roll and place on a shallow baking sheet.
Spray the completed rolls with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake at 350• for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve hot with sour cream and/or guacamole and Gringo Mexican Rice.
