  • ½ whole onions
  • 1 whole rotisserie chicken
  • 2 whole roma tomatoes
  • ⅓ cup chicken broth or water
  • 24–30 whole tortillas
  • oil
  • garlic salt
  • black pepper
Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat; add the small diced potatoes and onions, season with garlic salt and black pepper, cook 5 minutes until soft.
Potato and chicken filling
Add the rotisserie chicken and mix; add the roma tomatoes and chicken bouillon, cook about 3 minutes.
  • chicken bouillon
  • cilantro
Add the chicken broth or water, then the cilantro; set the filling aside to cool a few minutes.
  • 2 whole roma tomatoes
  • 3 whole tomatillos
  • 2 whole chiles serrano or jalapeño
  • 1 whole habanero
  • water
Salsa: in a small saucepan cover two roma tomatoes, three tomatillos, two serrano or jalapeño chiles and one habanero with water; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • 1 piece onion
  • 2 cloves garlic cloves
  • salt
Transfer to the blender with a small piece of onion, two garlic cloves, salt and a little water; blend smooth.
  • oil
Heat a little oil in the dried saucepan, add the salsa and bring to a simmer; taste for salt, reduce to medium-low and simmer about 3 minutes.
Warm the tortillas on a comal or in the microwave until soft so they roll without breaking.
Rolling the flautas
Put filling in the center, push it back and roll tightly; secure with a toothpick and keep warm in a ziplock bag while rolling the rest.
  • oil
Fry in oil until golden on one side, remove the toothpick, flip and fry the other side; drain and set on paper towels.
  • lettuce
  • sour cream
  • lime juice
  • tomatoes
  • onion
  • queso fresco
  • crema mexicana
Serve on lettuce, spread with sour cream, top with more lettuce, lime juice, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, the salsa, queso fresco and a drizzle of crema mexicana.
