Hola! How are you?
I’ve got a delicious recipe to share with you today! Today we are going to be making these cheesy chipotle chicken flautas, with Social Club Seltzer.
We’re all currently stuck at home, and there’s a lot of us who are stuck in quarantine by ourselves, or with one other person. My husband has been having to travel down to LA frequently, so I’ve been finding myself on my own in quarantine for weeks at a time. Cooking during quarantine has been much different. I try to keep meals a lot smaller and much simpler, to make sure food isn’t going to waste. Date night is also much different. Lately, date night for us has been consisting of a cocktail or two, a homecooked meal and watching a few episodes of our favorite show—with all our dogs tucked in their kennels for a nap to make sure it feels like we have the house to ourselves.
The dish we’re making today is perfect for date night, it makes enough for two, and it pairs so well with Social Club Seltzer! If you’re not familiar with Social Club Seltzer, it comes in a Social Club Seltzer Variety Pack: Social Club Seltzer Side Car, Social Club Seltzer Old Fashioned, Social Club Seltzer Citrus Gimlet. They’re cool, crisp and refreshing, and they are a product of what happens when seltzer meets classic cocktails, inspired by the pioneering attitude of the Golden 20s, and you can find them at your local grocery store. Pairing these crunchy tacos with a refreshing Social Club Seltzer Citrus Gimlet or Social Club Seltzer Side Car, felt like I was having a premium top shelf cocktail at a restaurant, they added a sophisticated feel to our date night. My favorite was the Social Club Seltzer Citrus Gimlet , which is a blend of bright citrus flavor notes and a hint of juniper flavor.
The flautas are rather easy to make, and they use rotisserie chicken so that you can use any leftover meat for lunch or dinner the next day. The filling consists of rotisserie chicken, shredded Mexican cheese blend, and spices like cumin, garlic powder, ground chipotle, then topped with shredded lettuce, salsa and queso cotija, items which you can find at your nearest Foods Co, or Kroger grocery store! I love that I can get these fresh ingredients at Food Co, and that the Social Club Seltzers can be found at any local supermarket and many other locations. That makes this pairing so easy to create!
If you happen to have some free time this weekend, try these flautas out and enjoy them along with a refreshing Social Club Seltzer Citrus Gimlet, my personal favorite! For more information on the Social Club Seltzers, make sure to visit their website, or visit a local grocery store near you!

Cheesy Chipotle Chicken Flautas
Makes 8 Flautas
Ingredients
For the filling:
1 Cup Shredded Chicken
1 Cup Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
½ Teaspoon Chipotle Powder (or sub in Smoked Paprika)
½ Teaspoon Onion Powder
½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
¼ Teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/8 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/8 Teaspoon Ground Coriander
1/8 Teaspoon Black Pepper
To Assemble:
8 Corn Tortillas
1 cup Vegetable Oil
Shredded Lettuce
Salsa
Queso Cotija
Rice
Refried Beans
In a large bowl toss together the shredded chicken, shredded cheese and olive oil, then sprinkle in the chipotle powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, ground cumin, ground coriander and black pepper and toss until all of the spices have been fully incorporated.
Wrap your tortillas in a kitchen towel and microwave for a minute. This will help the tortillas become pliable, a cold tortilla will rip when you go to roll it. Once the tortillas are warmed through add two tablespoons of the filing to one end, then roll the flauta tightly to close. Insert a toothpick through the seam to keep the flauta together.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet under medium heat. Once the oil is hot enough, carefully add the flautas seam side down, working in batches of 4. Fry the flautas for about 1 minute and a half to two minutes on each side until golden. Once they’re done frying remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Once you are ready to serve place 3-4 flautas on a plate, top with shredded lettuce, salsa and a sprinkle of cotija. Serve with rice and beans.
