Instructions
Creating the Pull-Apart Flauta Ring is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, grated cheese, cream cheese, and taco seasoning. Mix until blended well.
3. Prepare Tortillas: Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them pliable.
4. Fill Tortillas: Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture on one end of a tortilla. Roll it tightly and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
5. Arrange in a Ring: Once all tortillas are filled and rolled, arrange them in a circular pattern on the baking sheet, creating a ring.
6. Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the flautas with the beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked.
7. Spray or Drizzle: Lightly spray or drizzle olive oil over the top of the flauta ring for added crispness.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
9. Cool Slightly: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the flautas cool for a few minutes before serving.
10. Garnish: Garnish with fresh cilantro for an added pop of color and flavor.
By following these steps, you will enjoy delicious, crispy flautas fresh from your oven!
