What To Do With Leftover Flautas?
Leftover Flautas make a wonderful freezer meal! I always make extra, so I can freeze the rest for later use. So, we will let the flautas cool, then put them in a freezer safe container. Also, they freeze well for up to 3-4 months. To cook from frozen, preheat oven to 400* F and bake for about 15-20 minutes, until heated through. So, this allows my teens to be able to grab one or two out and cook themselves.
Ingredients For These Crockpot Slow Cooker Chicken Flautas
- 1-2 pounds of boneless/skinless Chicken breast(other meats work as well)
- 1 jar of your favorite salsa (salsa verde, or fresh pico de gallo works as well, whatever you have on hand)
- 8 oz shredded cheese ( We like Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or Cheddar) If your family likes it extra spicy you could use Pepper Jack.
- 1/4 cup cream cheese (I love to make my own, you can see HERE)

Instruction For These Baked Chicken Flautas
