Paleo Chicken Flautas

Paleo chicken flautas are a fun weeknight meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and they make for great leftovers!

Paleo Chicken Flautas

I’ve made some homemade grain-free tortillas over the years, but they haven’t really hit the mark. So a few weeks ago, when I was grabbing a few things at Whole Foods, I was elated to see grain-free tortillas on the shelf!

I purchased a bag with some skepticism, because I honestly didn’t think they’d taste anywhere near what I was hoping for. But I was pleasantly surprised; they not only tasted fabulous, they also handled just like a regular tortilla!

We all enjoyed making our old favorite – Chicken and Black Bean Quesadillas – for dinner one night. Next, I tried using these tortillas to make flautas. Man, were we one happy bunch!

Paleo Chicken Flautas

I looked into the company that makes these tortillas, and they offer a few different options based on your dietary restrictions. I tried all three and they all cooked well on the skillet and tasted great. Keep in mind, the almond flour and coconut flour options contain a bit of xanthan gum, so if you’re currently trying to heal from digestive issues this one might not be a good choice.

You can serve these Paleo Chicken Flautas with sour cream, guacamole, avocado crema, or fermented salsa. Enjoy!

Paleo Chicken Flautas Recipe

Print Recipe
Pin Recipe
  • Yield: Makes 8 Flautas

Ingredients

Units
  • 1/2 pound ground pork sausage, casings removed
  • 1/2 pound ground chicken (you can substitute with ground turkey or beef if you prefer)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
  • 1 cup cilantro, loosely packed
  • 8 grain-free tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon melted lard or duck fat
  • Celtic sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and adjust the rack to the middle position. Place the sausage and turkey in a large skillet and cook over medium heat until browned. Make a well in the center of the pan and add the chili powder and salt, and heat until fragrant. Then stir the spices into the rest of the meat. Place the meat mixture and cilantro in the bowl of a food processor and process, using 1-second pulses until the meat is finely ground.
  2. Place a tortilla on a clean surface and place 2-3 tablespoons of the meat mixture on the tortilla. Roll the tortilla and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a pastry brush, brush the rolled tortilla with a little melted lard and sprinkle with sea salt. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the edges of the tortillas are turning golden brown. Serve.

    I am surprised you are recommending cassava flour as it is not GAPS approved nor paleo as it is very high in carbs.

      Not all of my recipes are GAPS. Cassava flour is made from the Yucca root and is both Paleo and AIP approved. If the carb count is too high, then I'd suggest using an almond flour or coconut flour tortilla.

      I'm not sure where you're getting that price. I bought them for $8 a package at Whole Foods.

          They are now sold in stores in individual packages which makes the prices much less than buying in bulk.

    We have been using the Siete Almond Flour tortillas- and I was so shocked at how delicious they are. My kids did not even notice a difference when I switched from flour tortillas to these. We usually make breakfast burrittos on school mornings with these. YUM!!! They like theirs steamed over a pot of water, and I prefer mine toasted over a flame. They are spendy...but I am okay with it because the ingredients are great. If I could buy these in bulk and get a discount for it- I totally would!!! They keep in the freezer perfectly.

      I have also been using them for a long time and I never thought to steam them over a pot of water! Thanks for the tip! That will make rolling so much easier :)

      Glad you discovered them too and that your whole family enjoys them! Yes, they are a little pricey, so we don't purchase them often, but are super fun for every once in a while. I'd also LOVE to get them in bulk. If you ever find a way, please let me know! :)

    What kind of ground sausage do you get? I usually buy ground pork and make my own breakfast sausage with my own spices.

      I purchase my pastured ground pork from Peaceful Pastures, but any good ground pork would work well.

        Ok, so it isn't "sausage" that has all the spices already in it then---just ground pork for the recipe?

    Can these be cooked ahead of time and then frozen and reheated?

    Hi - I want to try the tortillas, but are they really good? I couldn't eat Julian Bakery coconut wraps/tortillas. They were really bad to me. Have you or anyone reading tried both brands and compared the two? Thanks!
