How to Make It
1. Step
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño, ½ cup (50 g) of Monterey Jack cheese, ½ cup (50 g) of cheddar cheese, the lime juice, and taco seasoning. Mix thoroughly.
2. Step
Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Step
Place one of the tortillas on a cutting board. Scoop 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the bottom edge of the tortilla. Roll up the tortilla tightly, leaving the edges untucked, and cut in half crosswise. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and filling.
4. Step
Arrange the flautas in a circle on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with half of the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Place a second layer of flautas on top of the first so they are overlapping. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. Place the rest of the flautas on top for a third layer.
5. Step
Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
6. Step
Sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately with guacamole and salsa for dipping.
