These were supposed to be for “Taquito Tuesday” …. until I realized I bought flour tortillas 🙄 so they were moved to “Flauta Friday”. Yes that’s a thing, don’t question me . These flautas are filled with a chicken and tomato sauce and cotija cheese, rolled and fried, topped with crema, tomatoes, avocado sauce, more cotija and of course cilantro 😍😍😍 You can totally substitute the cotija cheese if you can’t find it where you are. . Recipe on the blog this weekend. . Happy “fry-yay!” . #geniuskitchen #ksgram #buzzfeast #tasteofhome #foodgawker #eeeeeats #yahoofood #trymyrecipes #lifeandthyme #dailyfoodfeed #foooodieee #TASTEcooking #cookserious #saveurmag #realsimple #eater #instafoodbloggers #tastingtable #fravorites #fngrams #fnceats #trackerfood #foodceleb #cuisinesworld #bloglovinfood #myallrecipes #finecooking #flautas #mexicanfood #chickenflautas
