Crispy and Flavorful

When fried until golden brown, the tortilla becomes crispy and delicious. The result is a perfectly balanced dish that's both satisfying and full of flavor.
Made with Tender Chicken Meat
To make the filling, chicken breasts are marinated in a mixture of adobo sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, and other spices. This helps to break down the meat and infuse it with flavor. The chicken is then cooked until tender and shredded to make the perfect filling for the flautas.
Wrapped in a Crunchy Tortilla
To make the tortilla, simply fill a corn tortilla with the chicken filling and roll it up tightly. The tortilla is then fried until crispy and golden brown. The result is a perfectly crunchy shell that compliments the tender and flavorful chicken filling.
