Method

7 steps Oven 425°F 15 min prep · 25 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment.
Step 2. Heat half the Vegetable Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes.
Step 3. Add Ground Beef, Garlic, Cumin and half the Salt. Cook, breaking up the beef, until browned with no pink inside, about 7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Step 4. Wrap Tortilla in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, about 1 minute. Divide the beef among them, roll tightly and place seam-side down on the pan. Brush with the rest of the Vegetable Oil.
Step 5. Bake the flautas until golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
Step 6. Meanwhile, mash Avocado with Lime juice and the rest of the Salt to make guacamole.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Serve the flautas with the guacamole, Salsa and Sour Cream.

Tips

Good to know

Keep the tortillas covered after warming and roll them while warm so they don't crack.

Swap it

Use Mexican crema instead of sour cream if you have it.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftover flautas and toppings separately for up to 3 days, then reheat the flautas in the oven until crisp.

Good to know

Ground beef is safely cooked when its center reaches 160°F on an instant-read thermometer.
