Preparing the flatas:

• Get the flour tortillas out and place the coated chicken inside sprinkle desired amount of cheese.
• Roll it up! With the chicken in the center grab the bottem part and fold it over the chicken now fold in the sides and roll a final time this is where you need to pin the flatas so the good stuff don’t ooze out!

Cooking the flatas:

If you have a cast iron skillet available but any skillet will do over medium heat (375) just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.

• Place the flatas in the pan about 3-4 at a time
• Cook about 4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
• Flip
• Cook a additional 3 minutes
• Place flatas on parchment paper when finished to drain any remaining oil.
• Top flatas with cheese immediately after frying to melt cheese.
• Transfer to Serving platter and enjoy
• Store leftovers(what leftovers?) in a airtight container for up to 5 days

Serve with refried beans
Personal tip: I like to heat up my can of refried beans in a skillet with a little oil, Garlic&Onion.

Enjoy!
