Easy and Delicious BBQ Chicken Flautas

When you think of flautas the first thing that comes to mind is not BBQ flavored. This recipe may not be traditional but it is super tasty. My kids love the taste of barbecue sauce so anything with it is a hit.

The next time we made our favorite Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken, I knew the fate of the leftovers was a big dish of flautas. These were a hit from the second they left the oven.

This is also a hit made with our Crockpot BBQ Pulled Pork.

Quick and Delicious Barbeque chicken flautas are easy to make and full of flavors.

Tips and Tricks for Making BBQ Chicken Flautas

I love making these flautas on busy weeknights. I am going to walk through some tips here to hopefully answer any questions that might arise while making the BBQ Chicken Flautas.  You can find a full, printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.

Steps for making BBQ chicken Flautas.
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Mix the bbq chicken, corn, black beans, and cheese. 
  3. Spoon the mixture down the center of each tortilla, then lightly roll seam side down and place on a baking sheet. 
  4. Bake on the lower rack for 10-15 minutes or until tortillas are lightly browned on the top and bottom. 
  5. Remove and serve warmed with your choice of dipping sauce. 

FAQ’s for BBQ Chicken Flautas

Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour?

Yes, you can substitute corn tortillas for flour in this recipe.  Keep a few things in mind though.  First, many flour tortillas are generally smaller than flour tortillas.  If you move to a smaller tortilla you will need more tortillas. 

Is there a gluten free option?

You could use gluten free corn tortillas, and make sure that the BBQ pulled chicken you use is also gluten free.  That would make these into a gluten free meal.

How do I store the leftovers?

You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

You will need to reheat these in the oven or in a skillet on the stovetop to get them crispy again.
