Flauta Ingredients

Method

Flauta Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheese with salt and mix well.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Flautas

    Take one corn tortilla, place a generous tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center, and roll tightly. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  3. 3

    Fry the Flautas

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

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the flautas hot with sour cream, salsa, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro on top.
