Filling and Assembly
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Prepare the Filling
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
- 2
Add Vegetables and Spices
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the beef. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the onion is softened.

Assemble the Flautas
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly and secure with a toothpick if needed.
- 4
Fry the Flautas
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the flautas to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Drain and Serve
Remove the flautas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
