Tips

  • Customize the spice level by adding jalapeños for spicy or serranos for extra hot.
  • You can use toothpicks to hold the flautas together before frying, or lay them seam side down.
  • Add cheese inside the flautas if desired.
  • Do not eat the flautas immediately after frying; add them to the sauce first.
