Gentle flautas, so full of flavor… why have you been absent from our lives for so long? We've lived twenty, maybe even thirty years of our lives without you, and now rolled chicken perfection is just a click away. Add to that the slight hint of acid with the lime, cilantro, and tomato salsa, plus the obligatory cheese and sour cream… flautas, you make our lives complete! (Too far?) Tip: Some ways to get the most lime juice you can: Microwave 15-20 seconds to "soften" the fruit, gently roll on your countertop or cutting board while pressing on it with your palm, and, finally, give yourself some serious mechanical advantage by placing a cut half in between the arms of a pair of tongs to make squeezing much easier.
