Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) or set your air fryer to 200°C (400°F).

   2 minutes

   Preheating ensures flautas cook evenly and become crispy.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, onion, garlic, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

   3 minutes

   Use freshly cooked chicken for best flavor and juiciness.

3. 3

   Warm the corn tortillas in a microwave or on a skillet for 30 seconds to make them pliable and prevent cracking.

   2 minutes

   Cover tortillas with a damp cloth while warming to keep them soft.

4. 4

   Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture along one edge of each tortilla. Tightly roll up each tortilla and secure with a toothpick if needed.

   4 minutes

   Roll the tortillas tightly to prevent filling from spilling out.
