Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken or beef brisket with chopped onions, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

    Heat Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

Assembly

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling on one end of the tortilla, then roll it tightly and secure with a toothpick if necessary.

  2. 4

    Fry the Flautas

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the flautas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serving

    Plate the Dish

    Remove the flautas from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve hot with guacamole, crema mexicana, and coleslaw on the side.
