Fish Flautas
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Fish Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the white fish fillets, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook the fish for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully cooked and flaky.

Prepare the Tortillas
In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. This will make it easier to roll them without breaking.

Assemble the Flautas
Take one tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the fish mixture on one end. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas and fish mixture.

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

Garnish and Serve
