Cooking Oil

Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded beef or chicken and taco seasoning. Stir well and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Guacamole Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Guacamole

    In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados with a fork. Stir in lime juice, salt, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and diced onion. Mix until well combined. Set aside.

Flautas Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Flautas

    Take a corn tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the beef or chicken filling and a sprinkle of shredded cheese in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Frying

  1. 4

    Fry the Flautas

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the rolled flautas, seam side down. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve

    Serve the crispy flautas hot with a side of guacamole for dipping.
