I made buffalo chicken in the slow cooker. Wrapped it up that buffalo chicken in tortillas with mozzarella cheese, rolled them up, basted them with butter, and baked them. These ooey-gooey crisp and delicious flautas are really good dipped in ranch or blue cheese dressing. If you are a fan of buffalo sauce, you will love these!

Equipment

• Slow Cooker – 4 quart or larger (I own and use this one from Crock-Pot)

Ingredients 

US CustomaryMetric

 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 2 lbs. Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
• ▢ 1 cup Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Sauce
• ▢ 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
• ▢ 1/4 tsp. pepper
• ▢ 2 Tbsp. butter
• ▢ 10 8-inch flour tortillas
• ▢ 16 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
• ▢ 2 Tbsp. melted butter, this is for basting the tortillas
• ▢ Ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving

Instructions 

• Place the chicken into a 4-quart or larger slow cooker. In a small bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce, cornstarch and pepper. Pour this mixture over the chicken. Cut the butter into 2 pieces and place on top of chicken.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours.
• Shred the chicken with two forks.
• Use tongs to get the chicken out of the slow cooker, tap the tongs on the side of the slow cooker to get the excess sauce off the chicken.
• Place about a 1/2 cup of chicken into each tortilla and top with a heaping 1/8 cup of cheese.
• Roll up the tortillas around the filling and secure with a toothpick. Note- If your tortillas start to crack while rolling them up. Wrap them in moist paper towels (before filling them) and microwave for 25 seconds.
• Place the flautas onto a baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
• Baste the flautas with the melted butter.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Cook the flautas for about 7 minutes, flipping once, and cooking for an additional 7 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove toothpicks.
• Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
