Chicken Flautas

[Robert T]

I saw of picture of this recipe and showed it to Kim and we thought we should make it. We adapted the recipe for outdoor cooking. Started by seasoning a couple of chicken breasts with Weber's Bold N Spicy Chipotle rub. Then put in foil with some onion, garlic, jalepeno, juice of one lime and some water. Wrapped it kind of loose with the idea being to steam the breasts. In the original recipe the just boiled the chicken in water. Boring!

Kim started her wonderful Guacamole from Rick Bayless and I started Tony R's refried bean recipe.

I shredded the chicken, added ingredients and then set up our station for wrapping and we wrapped 10.

The tricky part was frying them. My patio is not level which causes the oil to pool and it is difficult to get just the right heat. I ended up moving the CI skillet all over the place but got them done. Initially tried four at once but two was much more manageable.

Plated. One plain for dipping and one with some goodies on it.

We really enjoyed them. It was fun and tasty. Thanks for looking!

The R&K team strikes again with a perfect cook. That looks super good, I will be showing that to Barb and I'm sure it will be on next weeks menu.
Question, about how long was it in foil?

Rich I was completely guessing and ended up cooking it in foil about 50 minutes. It shredded fine but maybe could have used about 10 more minutes. I forgot to post that I poured the reserve liquid into the shredded chicken which I think added a lot of flavor.

I don't think you can do it better, you two nailed it. Fantastic looking Chicken Flautas (Fajitas?) Another to do, dang the list is getting long

Flautas are different than fajitas, namely being deep fried, or in this case fried in oil.

Much better than the original! They look perfect. I wanted to do a pork butt for taquitos but I ate it before doing them.
