Instructions

1- Prepare the Flauta Filling:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, salsa, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are well combined.

2- Assemble the Flautas:

• On each tortilla, spread a small amount of refried beans in the center.
• Add a layer of shredded cheese, followed by a portion of the chicken mixture.
• Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
• Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling, ensuring the seam is on the bottom to prevent unravelling.

3- Cook the Flautas:

• Preheat the T-fal Infrared Air Fryer to 375°F (190°C).
• Lightly spray the rolled flautas with olive oil or cooking spray.
• Place them in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded.
• Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
• Use the "Crispy Finish" function for an additional 2 minutes at 450°F to achieve that perfect crispy texture.

4- Serve:

• Once the flautas are golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer.
• Serve immediately with sour cream, guacamole, and additional salsa.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro and crumbled white cheese.
• Add lime wedges on the side for a fresh touch.
