Ricotta Flautas are a delightful fusion of flavor and texture, rooted in Mexican-inspired cuisine. These crispy rolled tortillas are typically filled with creamy ricotta cheese, blended with herbs, spices, and sometimes a touch of garlic or roasted vegetables for added depth. Lightly pan-fried or baked until golden, they offer a satisfyingly crunchy exterior that contrasts with the rich, savory filling. Ricotta provides a good source of protein and calcium while being lower in fat compared to some other cheeses. When baked rather than fried, Ricotta Flautas become a healthier option, minimizing added oils and calories. Pairing them with fresh salsa, avocado slices, or a mixed greens salad enhances their nutritional profile while maintaining vibrant flavor. Though indulgent, moderation is key, as their tortilla base adds refined carbohydrates. Perfect as an appetizer or main dish, Ricotta Flautas strike a balance between comfort food and mindful eating.
