Ingredients
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
- Sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart, and cook until browned. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Assemble the Flautas: Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable. Place a spoonful of the ground beef mixture on one end of a tortilla, roll it tightly, and secure it with a toothpick if needed.
- Fry the Flautas: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the flautas in batches until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Remove toothpicks if used, and serve the flautas hot with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole on the side.
