Are you looking for an easy, family-friendly dinner idea? Try this easy recipe for Baked Chicken Flautas.

My biggest dinner obstacles are my two smallest and pickiest eaters. There is something magical about finger food. The easier it is to hold and eat, the more they love it. Add a dipping sauce and it becomes culinary magic.

Do you have picky eaters in your home? This recipe might be just what you need to have everyone asking for an encore!

Baked Chicken Flautas

Flautas are not usually a favorite of mine. I am not a big fan of fried foods. My children are though, and my challenge was to adapt this recipe to be healthier for the entire family while still giving my kids the crunch and flavors they enjoy.

By using a rotisserie chicken, pre-shredded cheese and a can of Rotell, this meal is very easy and fast to throw together. I love it with a good fresh salsa, but my kids would tell you to dip them in a little sour cream. The decision is yours.

    This would be great outdoor party fare. Simply heat and serve straight from the grill. May have to try this before for a couple pre-Halloween get-togethers. A little sour cream, guacamole, or queso – Yum!
