EASY BAKED FLAUTAS (TAQUITOS!)
These oven baked flautas are filled with a zesty refried bean and cheese filling! Similar to taquitos, they can be made with either flour or corn tortillas.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (necessary for cleanup!).
- Thinly slice the green onions.
- If you're using canned refried beans, take a taste and determine whether they're well seasoned. If not, add a few pinches of kosher salt and cumin. If you're using our Homemade Refried Beans, they'll be perfectly seasoned and you can skip this step.
- In a large bowl, mix together the green onion, refried beans, salsa, chili powder, and shredded cheese.
- Optional step: If you're using 100% corn tortillas, you may want to pan fry each one in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil (or without in a dry pan) to prevent cracking and help them be easier to work with. Every tortilla brand is different, so if your tortillas seem brittle it's helpful to heat them before rolling. You can do this with corn tortillas too!
- Lay a tortilla on a work surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the bean mixture in a dollop onto the bottom half of the tortilla. Be careful not to use too much! Tightly roll the tortilla from the bottom (the filling will spread out and hold the tortilla together). Place the flauta seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
- When the flautas are assembled, brush the tops with oil and sprinkle them with a bit of salt. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until crisp and browned. Some of the beans will come out the ends of the rolls, which is expected (enough filling will remain to perfectly flavor them!). Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. Freezing instructions: Cool the flautas to room temperature, then freeze in a sealed container. To reheat, bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until warmed through.

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN FLAUTAS
Take taco night to the next level with this weeknight spin on cheesy, crunchy flautas. After stuffing them with a smoky, spicy ground chicken-chipotle mixture, we skipped the traditional pan-frying route in favor of letting them crisp-up in the oven.

Secure with two toothpicks. Repeat until all tortillas, chicken, and cheese are used. Transfer tortillas to a baking dish.

BAKED CHICKEN FLAUTAS
I grew up in the kitchen eating Mexican food every day and never got tired of it. These are a great dish for "Mexican or Taco Night." They are easy to eat and what kid doesn't like chicken tacos (that's what my 8-year-old brother calls them). Others prefer to microwave the tortillas, roll up the flautas, and then deep-fry them. Baking them just makes me feel a tad less guilty. I like to serve these with refried beans, fresh lettuce, green salsa, and top it off with more shredded cheese and sour cream.

Steps:
- Place chicken breasts, onion, garlic, and salt in a deep pot. Cover with water and cook over medium heat, adding water if it starts to get low, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat and shred chicken with 2 forks. Reserve 1/2 cup stock.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add shredded chicken and sazon seasoning. Add the reserved chicken stock, stir well, and reduce heat. Cook until all stock has evaporated. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place another frying pan over medium heat with 1/2 cup of vegetable oil. Begin frying corn tortillas one at a time until soft, but not crispy, 30 seconds to 1 minute, flipping once. Place the tortillas aside as you fry them.
- Place 1 tablespoon of cooked chicken on one end of each tortilla along with 1 tablespoon of Monterey Jack cheese. Roll into flautas and place side by side on a cookie sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
