Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spritz or brush lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, combine 4 oz cream cheese (softened), 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, 1 ½ cups chicken (shredded), ¼ cup green onions (diced), ½ tsp crushed red pepper, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp garlic powder. Mix until the cheeses and seasonings are fully combined and smooth.
  • Lay one flour tortilla (soft taco size) flat. Spread about 1 heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture across the center of the tortilla, leaving the edges clear. Top the cheese mixture with about 2 tablespoons of shredded chicken (use the chicken included in the combined mixture as needed).
  • Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat step 3–4 with the remaining tortillas, arranging them in a single layer without touching.
  • Lightly spray the tops of the rolled flautas with cooking spray.
  • Bake for 13–15 minutes, then carefully turn each flauta over and bake an additional 7 minutes, or until evenly browned and crisp.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest 2–3 minutes before serving.
