Flauta Ingredients

Method

Flauta Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded beef or chicken with shredded cheese. Add salt to taste and mix well.

  2. 2

    Assemble the flautas

    Warm the corn tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Take one tortilla, add about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center, and roll tightly. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

  3. 3

    Fry the flautas

    In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the rolled flautas, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the flautas hot with sour cream, salsa, and chopped fresh cilantro on the side.
