In a large bowl, combine chicken, chiles, cheeses, salt, and hot sauce (if using).
Lay 1 tortilla down on a work surface. Spread a heaping 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the bottom third of the tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam side down on a plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
In a 10” skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches between 350-375 ° F. (You want to hear a sizzle as soon as the food hits the oil.)
Add 3 of the flautas to the oil, seam side down. Cook, turning every 30 to 60 seconds, until golden all over, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer flautas to a large paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet. Repeat with remaining flautas. Serve immediately with pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole.
Store leftover flautas in an airtight container for up to three days. Warm in a pan on the stove or in a 350º oven for 5-7 minutes.

Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 375°. On a baking sheet, toss chickpeas with oil; season with salt
Roast chickpeas until lightly golden and dried on the outside, about 12 minutes.
Remove sheet from oven, then carefully push chickpeas together. Sprinkle cheese on top of chickpeas in an even layer.
Continue to bake until cheese melts and turns lightly brown and golden, 10 to 15 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool slightly.
Break cheesy chickpeas into chip-size pieces with your hands.
Make sure the chickpeas are completely dry before adding the cheese layer.
An initial roast with olive oil and salt will make sure the chickpeas are dry and crisp.
Then, after the first roast, carefully remove the pan from the oven, push the chickpeas together, and add a blanket of freshly grated Parmesan over the top.
You’ll know it’s ready when the cheese has melted and starts to turn golden, lacy, and frico-like around the edges.
After allowing it to cool for a few minutes, you’ll be able to pull the entire cheesy sheet of chickpeas off the sheet pan. No parchment needed.

Prep Time:3minutes mins
Cook Time:7minutes mins
Servings:1 pizza
Secure the shape with 3 toothpicks
For spreading, you can use whatever you want, like basic pizza sauce or sour cream, even cottage cheese!
For a TWIST on the classic pizza, you can add an egg right in the middle! No worries, it’s going to cook in the Airfryer
Cooking time is around 7–10 minutes. After the first 7 minutes, check the pizza crusts! Do not rush this part for a cheesy finish.
One of the most common mistakes is adding too many toppings. While it’s tempting to load it up, too much moisture can prevent the tortilla from crisping properly. Keep your toppings light so the base holds its shape and cooks evenly.
If your tortilla isn’t crisping enough, it usually comes down to airflow and heat. Make sure it sits flat in the air fryer basket and isn’t overcrowded. Preheating also makes a difference in getting that quick, even cook.
The cheese-stuffed edges need to be sealed well. If they open while cooking, the cheese can melt out too quickly. Rolling the tortilla tightly over the cheese and securing it properly helps maintain the shape.
For best texture:
• Use low moisture mozzarella so it melts without releasing too much liquid
• Slice ingredients like tomatoes thin to avoid excess water
• Don’t skip the egg wash if you want a more structured crust
If you’re using a different cooking method, the same concept applies. In the oven, place it on a preheated tray so the bottom starts crisping immediately. A skillet can also work, but cook on medium heat and cover briefly to melt the cheese without burning the base.
Let it sit for a minute after cooking before removing the toothpicks. This helps the structure set and keeps everything in place when serving.
