Starting January 16th, the popular Tex-Mex brand is serving up new [Kickin’](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-fiesta-chicken) Chicken Flautas made with its one-of-a-kind spicy chipotle chicken. This spicy chicken is then rolled in flour tortillas and lightly fried to cheesy perfection for a deliciously savory snack. The dish also comes with a side of chips, queso, guac, and salsa to round out the meal. As Tijuana Flats CEO Joe Christina explains, "With tastes that only Tijuana Flats can deliver, I have no doubt the new Kickin’ Chicken Flautas will quickly become another guest favorite.” The new Kickin’ Chicken Flautas and the returning Cheesy Steak Flautas are both available now until April 9, 2023.
