Filling and Assembly
Method
Preparation and Cooking
Prepare the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. If using shredded beef or chicken, ensure it's heated through.
Assemble the Flautitas
Take a flour tortilla and place a small amount of ground beef, shredded beef, or chicken in the center. Top with some shredded cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly to form a flauta.
Fry the Flautitas
In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the flautitas in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes each side. Drain on paper towels.
Serve
Serve hot with guacamole and sour cream on the side.
