How to Make Baked Chicken Chipotle Flautas

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, black beans, corn, and chopped red onion. Stir in 1/4 cup of the chipotle pepper sauce (adjust to your spice preference).
  3. In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  4. Add the chopped bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir into the chicken mixture.
  5. Lay out 10-12 flour tortillas on a clean surface.
  6. Place about 3 tablespoons of the chicken filling along the edge of each tortilla.
  7. Roll up each tortilla tightly and secure with a toothpick.
  8. Lightly spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
  9. Arrange the flautas on the prepared baking sheet.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of canola oil and 1/2 teaspoon of ground chipotle pepper (or more, to taste).
  11. Lightly brush the flautas with the chipotle oil mixture.
  12. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  13. Let the flautas cool slightly before removing the toothpicks.
  14. Slice each flauta diagonally and serve immediately.
  15. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, low-fat sour cream, and salsa.
