My family gets so excited when I say I’m making flautas. They love to help make them and eat them! They’re perfect and never fall apart in little kid hands.

Ingredients:
For the flautas:
- 2 lbs. chicken breast

Garnishes:
- 2 cups chopped lettuce

Directions:
Add chicken to a medium sauce pan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 15 - 20 minutes, or till no longer pink. When chicken is done, remove from water and shred in a large bowl. Add taco seasoning to meat and mix well.

Continue rolling all 12 flautas and place all on the cookie sheet. Spray the tops of the flautas with non-stick olive oil spray and place and place in oven to bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until golden brown.
