For the sauce:
- 3 ounces plain greek yogurt
- ¼ teaspoon minced jalapeno
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- pinch of sugar
- ¼ cup cilantro leaves chopped
For the flautas:
- 2 cups Spicy Mexican Chicken
- ½ cup light cream cheese
- ¾ cup shredded Chihuahua cheese
- 1 tablespoon dried cilantro
- 8 taco size flour tortillas
- Olive oil spray
Heat the oven. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Make the sauce. Mix all of the ingredients for the sauce together in a small bowl. Refrigerate while you prepare the flautas.
Make the filling. Add the chicken to a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the cheeses and still until both cheeses are melted. Remove from heat and all the cilantro.
Roll the flautas. Place a tortilla on a large plate or another work surface. Place a few spoonfuls of the chicken in the middle of the tortilla. Roll tightly and place on a baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat with remaining chicken and tortillas.
Bake the flautas. Lightly spray the rolled flautas with olive oil and bake for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes remove from the oven and carefully flip them over. Spray the bottom sides lightly with oil and return to the oven for 5 to 7 minutes or until the flautas are lightly browned.
Serve. Remove from oven and top with Cilantro Lime Sauce. Serve immediately.
