About Flauta
Flautas are a popular dish rooted in Mexican cuisine, featuring a rolled tortilla, typically filled with shredded meat such as chicken or beef, and occasionally cheese or beans. These tortillas are then either fried until crisp or baked for a lighter alternative. The result is a crunchy, flavorful appetizer or meal often served with toppings like guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and fresh vegetables. While flautas provide protein from the meat and essential nutrients from the accompanying toppings, their healthiness largely depends on preparation. Deep-fried flautas can be higher in fat and calories compared to baked versions. Choosing whole-grain tortillas and loading them with healthy fillings like lean proteins, beans, or vegetables can boost their nutritional profile. Flautas are a versatile dish that can be tailored for indulgence or adjusted for a more wholesome option, making them a cherished staple in traditional and modern Mexican cooking.
