I had intended to make Chicken Flautas for Cinco de Mayo, and we're already now halfway into May. I had bought flour tortillas and was gonna use up leftover rotisserie chicken I doused in enchilada sauce. I forgot until a neighbor recently returned from Pismo Beach saying she had the best flautas.

She also said a filled fried rolled tortillas is called a flauta if it’s a flour tortilla and called a taquito if it’s a corn tortilla. I served the chicken flautas as if we were in a Mexican restaurant with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa atop a bed of lettuce. I made myself a blood orange margarita to sip with dinner. Muy deliciozo!
