One of my favorite favorite things to cook for dinner!
Flautas
8 oz boneless skinless chicken (ground or finely chopped)
1 onion, finely chopped
fresh chiles of choice, finely chopped ( I use serranos or habs)
6 black olives, pitted and chopped
salt<
1 TBSP oil
1 green pepper, diced
1 red pepper, diced
3 oz frozen sweetcorn (about 2/3 cup)
1/2 c heavy cream (I use at least 1 cup, can use Half-n-Half also)
12 tortillas (warmed)
salsa, guacamole, and sour cream for toppings
Heat the oil in a medium frying pan and add the chicken, onion, and
green pepper. Cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently to break
up the pieces of chicken. When the chicken is cooked and the veggies
are softened, add the chile, sweetcorn, olives, cream and salt. Bring
to the boil over heat and boil rapidly, stirring continiously, to
reduce and thicken the cream.
Place tortilla on a clean work surface. Spoon some of the chicken
mixture onto the tortillas, roll up and secure with wooden toothpicks.
Fry flautas in about 1/2" oil in a large fry pan. Do not allow tortillas
to get very brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve em up!

**My notes: For a lower fat meal, skip the frying process. Roll and
secure flauta with toothpick, then spray lightly with olive oil. Place
under broiler and till light brown. Flip it over and broil till light
brown.
