Mexican flautas are famous because they make us sing, and not precisely for their melodious sound; they make us sing with joy for their flavor! They are a typical dish of Mexican gastronomy. Their origin is not precisely known, but they are believed to be primarily from Sinaloa and the Federal District, although they exist throughout Mexico.

Cook the chicken in enough water, add salt and the clove of garlic. Remove from the water when cooked and let rest to shred the breasts. Remove the pit from the avocado and place the pulp in the blender, along with ¼ cup of water, salt, and lime juice. Lightly heat the tortillas until flexible and place a bit of the shredded chicken. Roll up and cook in hot oil until they turn a golden color. Remove excess oil from the flautas and serve with avocado sauce, sprinkling cheese on top.
