I just came back from a week long vacation which ended with three days camping, fishing, and yes drinking way to much beer in the Sierras.
A good time was had with some great friends who I have not hung out with in way to long.
The fishing was not the best as there was a full and gorgeous Harvest moon every night but that did not mater; we had so many hours of good times, laughter and outdoor hi jinks.
Our second day of camping in Silver Lake, California we rented a boat on the scenic little lake and spent all the day on the lake, floating down the little channels and throwing our lines into the crystal clear water.
This lazy river day reminded us all of being on Disneyland’s Jungle River Cruise; except with way more beer.
What an absolutely perfect way to spend a vacation.
Our first night of the epic fishing and camping trip we needed something deep fried and delicious.
Chicken flautas fried in coconut oil would be perfect on a chilly autumn night in the high sierras.
Chicken and Chili Flautas with Feta Pepper Dipping Sauce
1 cup chicken, poached and shredded
12 chili tortillas
1 cup coconut oil
For the Feta Dipping Sauce
1 red bell pepper, roasted
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
juice of half a lemon
1 cup sour cream
3-7 dashes hot sauce
In a food processor combine the red pepper, feta, lemon juice, sour cream and hot sauce. Set aside.
Roll each tortilla up with a little bit of chicken inside. Secure each side with tooth picks.
Fry each tortilla in the coconut oil, turning as each side browns.
