Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables and Spices

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 4

    Prepare Tortillas

    Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, just until they are warm and pliable.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tortillas

    Take a warm tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the beef filling in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  3. 6

    Fry the Flautas

    In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the rolled flautas in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Serve the flautas hot with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
