Roll each tortilla tightly and secure with a toothpick if necessary.

Step 10

Brush the remaining olive oil lightly over the rolled flautas.

Step 11

Place the flautas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy.
