Chicken Jalapeño Popper Flautas Recipe - Home Chef (2)

Jalapeño poppers are for appetizer trays, aren't they? Not anymore. We've taken that basic element that makes them delicious... cheesy spice... and transported it to these rolled beauties. With tender chicken and corn, these are lip-smackingly good, no additional mozzarella sticks or chicken wings required. Tip: To keep corn kernels from making a mess, place the ear of corn in a bowl and holding vertically. Cut downward, rotating corn as you go, so kernels end up in the bowl instead of scattered on your counter.
