Method

Preparation of Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mash the Potatoes

    In a large bowl, mash the cooked potatoes. Stir in olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Assemble and Cook Flautitas

  1. 3

    Prepare Tortillas

    Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until soft and pliable.

  2. 4

    Fill and Roll

    Place a generous spoonful of the potato filling on each tortilla, then roll tightly to form a flautita. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.

  3. 5

    Fry the Flautitas

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the flautitas in batches until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

    Top and Serve

    Remove flautitas from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot topped with shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, crema, crumbled cotija cheese, and drizzled with flautita sauce.
