About Flautas

Flautas are a popular Mexican dish consisting of thinly rolled tortillas, typically filled with shredded chicken, beef, or beans. The filled tortillas are tightly rolled into a cigar-like shape and fried until golden and crispy. Flautas are often garnished with toppings like lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa for added flavor. While they are rich in protein and can include fiber from beans or vegetables, Flautas are traditionally fried, making them higher in fat and calories. Opting for baked Flautas or using whole-grain tortillas can make them a healthier choice without sacrificing their satisfying crunch. As a staple in Mexican cuisine, Flautas offer a taste of tradition and versatility, providing room for creative fillings to suit dietary preference. Enjoy them in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
