Generally speaking, taquitos usually means corn tortillas, while flautas means flour. Both are small, tightly wrapped, and usually fried. Like a skinny little chimichanga.

But if we're including corn as a wrapping (e.g., tostadas,) then you can add tamales to your list too. And if you're adding other ethnicities (e.g. "wraps" with lunchmeat) then you should toss in gyros as well.

I always had corn tortilla flautas. That's what I made anyway. They were yum.

Flautas (flutes) is a more accurate name than taquitos (little tacos) anyway.

anybody have a good (and pretty easy) recipe for chicken chili?

Here is what I do for that, Bri. I know there are a lot of ingredients, but it is really yum, and it is simpler than it looks if you have a good can opener.

Yummy Slow Cooker Chicken Chili

1 19oz can of black bean soup (I like to use a southwestern black bean chicken soup by Progresso.)
1 15oz can of Kidney Beans, rinsed and drained
1 15oz can of garbanzos, rinsed and drained
1 15oz can of baked beans (whatever variety you like)
1 15oz can of chopped tomatoes in puree
1 15oz can of whole kernel corn, drained
1 cup of cooked chicken (or you can use that canned kind)
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper chopped
2 stalks of celery, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 T chili powder or to taste
1 T dried parsley
1 T dried oregano
1 T dried basil

Combine everything in a slow cooker and cook for at least 2 hours on high.

You could probably use one of those packages of pre-cooked chicken you find with packaged deli meats, if you wanted.

Shawnee? You. Are. A. Goddess! this recipe turned out WAY better than i expected. and monst? there's ur bacon pic too! for the veggies i used orange bell pepper, whole and sliced jalapeño (i recommend sliced and deseeded) and mushrooms.

oh and yeah, for those who may not know, the bowl on the right is fresh pineapple.

Looks Yummy , But Pass on the Jalapenos and Wheres the Onions ?

the roomie absolutely cannot stand them. can't even bring them in the house. i miss onions. :(

I can Just see Plthijinx Sitten in the drive way eaten Onion Rings and Cryen !!

hell i should! set up my own fryer out there make me some onion rings and a few fried turkeys chicken and powkchaps! mmmmmmHM!

damn i love to cook! now i needs to finds me a woman to cook for!

He said COOK !!!!
Ya Dirty Minded Freaks !!!!

WHOA! :eek: what? me? don't hate me cuz i can cook!

my chile recipe:
2-3 lbs coarse ground beef or venison
one Wick Fowlers 2 alarm chili mix
sear the meat and drain. open chili packet, set aside the masa flour for later
1 sam adams 22oz ale (or your fav beer)
add all packets then add
2 8 oz cans tomato sauce
5 roma tomatoes chopped
2 big cloves of garlic smashed and diced
5 jalapenos sliced
2 sprigs FRESH oregano diced
roommate absolutely cannot stand onions. not allowed in the house even. :( anyway, one yellow onion diced or chopped. your choice. 1015 onion if you can get them.
1 package sliced mushrooms
sea salt to taste
1 tsp cumin
2 tbs chili powder
bring it to boil then reduce heat to simmer and cover stirring about every 15 minutes for an hour and a half.
then slowly stir in the masa flour packet. you will probably need to add more flour than what they provide so have some ready to use if need be.
1 package spaghetti or vermicelli
when heating the water for the pasta add a couple tbs of olive oil to prevent sticking.

serve like you would a normal plate of spaghetti only rather that Parmesan cheese use grated cheddar or your favorite shredded cheese. kraft 4 cheese mexican works really well.
enjoy!

There is also Six Gun Chili Mix, should work every bit as well, plthijinx. I don't care for the Carroll Shelby mix -- too much guajillo in the pepper mix gives it a bitter finish.
