Chicken Flautas

by Alissa Ringer

We’ve been making this meal for years. We usually double it.

2 Tbs olive oil
1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tsp chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8-oz chicken breast
4 6-inch flour tortillas
¼ cup sour cream
½ cup shredded jack cheese
2 Tbs vegetable oil

Marinate chicken breast and olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, chili powder, and salt & pepper for one hour in fridge. Then cook the chicken over medium-high heat in a non-stick pan for 3-4 minutes per side. Let cool and then cut into one-inch cubes.

Mix together the cubed chicken, sour cream, jack cheese, and 2 Tbs vegetable oil. Spoon ¼ of this mixture onto each tortilla and roll up. Place flautas on baking sheet, brush with additional oil, and cook for 15 minutes in a pre-heated 400 degree oven. Turn the flautas over and cook and additional 7 minutes.


I made this meal for my “Healthy Meals Freezer Group” in my ward. Everyone requested that I make it again the following month. It is healthy and delicious – perfect for those New Year’s Resolutions!
