In Spanish, flauta means flute or flute-shaped. Here it refers to a Mexican roll-up worthy of a grand "Olé!"
What You'll Need
- 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
- 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained
- 1/2 a small onion, chopped
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped toasted almonds
- 1 tablespoon dried cilantro
- 8 eight-inch flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
What to Do
- Preheat the oven to 425 degree F.
- In a large skillet, combine the beans, chilies, onion, cheese, almonds, and cilantro over medium heat. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the mixture is hot and the cheese is melted.
- Spoon the bean mixture evenly into the center of each tortilla and roll tightly to close, forming a flute shape. Place seam side down on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Use 1 tablespoon of the oil to brush the tops of the tortillas; bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until golden, brushing with the remaining tablespoon of oil halfway through the baking. Serve immediately.
Notes
Serve topped with picante sauce, if desired.
