I’m sure most of us when we think of flautas we usually think of beef flautas or chicken flautas? It’s not often I hear someone say, “I’m making Chili Flautas today!” But that’s exactly what I did today, I made Chili Flautas!
But I made Chili Flautas with Salsa Verde! Talk about yummy!
This recipe I promise you is all sorts of perfect goodness!!
I made homemade chili yesterday and today I decided to make these little bundles of yum. And since you can pretty much guarantee I always have tomatillos in my home, I made salsa verde to accompany these guys!
(Note: For more info on tomatillos, check out this post from Alana at A Veggie Venture, What is a Tomatillo, where she shares different facts about tomatillos).
Homemade Chili or Can Chili ?
Ok, I want to make clear, you do not have to make homemade chili to make these fabulous rolls, you can buy your favorite can of chili and use that. As for me whenever I make homemade chili and I have some left over (which I usually do, cause I make a lot!) I make these chili flautas and pair them up with sour cream, my tomato jalapeño salsa or some salsa verde.
That’s what is great about Mexican cuisine, you can make a particular dish and use it in multiple ways. For example you can make chicken tinga and make chicken tinga tacos or chicken tinga tostadas or just have chicken tinga on top of rice.
The same applies with Mexican dips or salsas. Both are used in a variety of dishes and appetizers.
That is exactly what happened here! I made some homemade chili and then today made chili flautas with the left overs!
How perfect is that!
This recipe is a perfect way to simplify our lives in just another way! Make a delicious chili for dinner and use the leftovers to make some Chili Flautas!
But again, if you’re not up to making a homemade chili just buy a can of your favorite chili and give these Chili Flautas with Salsa Verde a try!
