Directions

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Salt and pepper chicken. Preheat skillet and drizzle with olive oil. Add chicken to hot skillet and let it brown lightly before flipping it.
• Add the onion, garlic, and salt; sauté until tender. Add cilantro, oregano, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper (if desired), pepper, and tomato paste.
• Add water and stir until well combined. Bring to a boil and then cook over medium heat until thick sauce forms.
• Start to make your flautas. Take one flour tortilla on a plate and place some of the chicken mixture in a line on the tortilla. Tightly roll the tortilla and secure with a toothpick. Repeat this with all the rest of the tortillas. Flautas should be about the thickness of a large cigar.
• Place flautas on a nonstick baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until crispy.
• Serve with fresh guacamole, pico de gallo, and beans and rice, if desired.
