Baked Chicken Flautas

Here’s another easy use of CrockPot Chicken Tacos Meat: baked chicken flautas. They take an extra step in the prep than tacos, but aren’t difficult and can be made ahead or frozen. My kids like them better than chicken tacos, and they can be fairly portable for picnics, lunches or dinner on the way to a game.

Baked Chicken Flautas

Ingredients:

  •  CrockPot Chicken Tacos Meat or any shredded chicken (if using non-seasoned shredded chicken, sprinkle with a little cumin and other desired seasonings and mix with a little salsa before adding to the flautas)

  • Montery Jack cheese  (I shred a brick and don’t end up using it all)
  • Tortillas (soft taco size is best, but I usually use fajita size because it’s what I keep on hand)
