This was the easiest meal to throw together!

All it took was six simple ingredients to make one irresistible flauta!

Pollo Fundido is typically shredded chicken inside a flour tortilla, fried, then topped with delicious cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Simply delicious! I thought I might stick the cheddar and cream cheese on the inside, and instead of frying it, I would bake them into a sweet little roll.

Turned out A-MAZ-ING!!

I used rotisserie chicken for this recipe. I just grabbed a whole rotisserie chicken from the deli, skinned it, and pulled off and shredded the chicken. I store the chicken in my fridge and pull it out whenever I need to use it! One chicken can go a long way!
