Flautas

Ingredients:

16 round corn tortillas or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded chicken
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup cooked red or green tomato sauce
1/2 heavy cream
4 tablespoons queso anejo, grated, or dry feta cheese

Preparation:

Heat the tortillas briefly on a hot griddle to make them more pliable.
Slightly overlap 2 tortillas to form a set about 7 inches long. Continue with remaining tortillas.
Place a tablespoon of chicken near the edge of each tortilla set and roll up tightly so they do not open. If necessary, you can use a toothpick to secure.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the flautas on high heat on all sides, 2 or 3 at a time, for about 1 minute or until lightly golden.
Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Transfer flautas to plates or a platter.
Spoon some sauce over the flautas, top with some cream and sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately.
