1 container (8 oz) sour cream
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons roughly chopped green onions
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt

Flautas

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 package (0.85 oz) Old El Paso™ chicken taco seasoning mix
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (4 oz)
4 oz cream cheese, softened (from 8-oz package)

Preparation

Place Herbed Sour Cream ingredients in blender; cover and puree 30 to 60 seconds or until smooth. Transfer to small bowl; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Heat oven to 425°F. Spray large rimmed pan with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix oil and 1 tablespoon of the taco seasoning mix.
In medium bowl, mix chicken, shredded cheese, cream cheese, chiles and remaining taco seasoning mix.
Place slightly less than 1/4 cup chicken mixture on bottom third of each tortilla. Roll up tightly; place seam-side down in pan. Brush filled tortillas with oil mixture. Bake 10 to 13 minutes or until filling is hot (at least 165°F) and flautas are crispy. Serve with Herbed Sour Cream.

Expert Tips

Herbed Sour Cream can be made up to a day ahead; store covered in refrigerator.
We tested this recipe using deli shredded rotisserie chicken, but any leftover cooked chicken will work well.
