Flautas

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, mix the shredded beef or chicken with salt. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the Tortillas

    In a skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Lightly fry each tortilla for about 10 seconds on each side until they are pliable. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Flautas

    Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat filling on one side of each tortilla. Roll tightly and secure with a toothpick if necessary.

  4. 4

    Fry the Flautas

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the rolled tortillas in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove toothpicks if used, and serve hot with sour cream, salsa, shredded lettuce, and avocado slices.
