Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir the chicken together with taco sauce, alfredo, cheese and seasonings.
Divide the mixture into ten equal portions and fill the tortillas with filling, rolling tightly and placing the seam side down on the baking sheet.
Spray chicken taquitos lightly with a nonstick cooking spray and bake for 15 minutes or until they are golden and as crispy as you'd like.
Serve your chicken flautas warm with any desired toppings: salsa, guacamole, taco sauce, sour cream, cilantro, etc..

Notes

Feel free to substitute 2 cans of chicken for the cooked and shredded chicken breasts. I used two costco-sized cans of chicken which was 25 oz. total. Rotisserie chicken with the skin removed also works great!
