Method
Flautas
- 1
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- 2
- 3
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- 4
Stir in the cumin, chili powder, paprika, and salt. Cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
- 5
Pour in the tomato sauce and beef broth. Add jalapeño if using. Simmer the mixture until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 6
Warm the corn tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave just until pliable.
- 7
Meanwhile, pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet to about 1 inch (2-3 cm) depth and heat to 350-365°F (175-185°C).
- 8
Divide the beef filling evenly among the tortillas. Roll each tortilla tightly and secure with a toothpick.
- 9
Fry the flautas in batches, seam side down first, until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Turn as needed for even browning.

Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Let them rest a minute, then remove toothpicks and serve with salsa, crema, or cheese as desired.
