Flautas

Ingredients

2 tbsp. GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 cup finely chopped onion

1 tsp. GOYA® Minced Garlic or 2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (8 oz) GOYA® Tomato Sauce

1 lb. shredded chicken or pork loin*

2 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro

8 or 16 GOYA® Corn Tortillas

¾ cup GOYA® Vegetable Oil for frying

Garnishes:

Sour cream

GOYA® Guacamole

Shredded queso fresco or Monterey Jack cheese

GOYA® Salsa Picante Sauce

Directions

* To prepare shredded chicken or pork: Place meat in a pot with water to cover. Add 1 packet GOYA® Powdered Chicken Bouillon, 1 bay leaf, and 1 celery stalk. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes until meat is tender. When cool enough to handle, shred.
1. Preheat oven to warm.
2. Heat oil in a skillet on medium. Add onion and garlic and cook until onion is translucent. Add tomato sauce and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Stir in shredded meat and cilantro and cook until mixture is warmed through. Remove from heat.
4. Heat ¼ cup vegetable oil in a skillet on medium-high. Cook the tortillas quickly, one at a time, for a few seconds on each side to soften them. Drain on paper towels.
5. Divide the filling among the tortillas and roll up. The tacos get more filling and are rolled loosely, while the flautas get less filling and are rolled more tightly. Secure each one with a toothpick.
6. Add an addition ½ cups of vegetable oil the skillet and heat on medium-high. Cook the tacos or flautas in batches, turning once or twice until they are browned and crispy on all sides. Drain on paper towels and hold in oven until they are all cooked.
7. Garnish as desired.
