What it is
These are pre-made frozen flautas filled with a savory mixture of chorizo, scrambled eggs, and melted cheese.

How people cook with it

- Late-night bite
To prepare, remove the flautas from their packaging. They can be cooked in an oven or an air fryer for the best crispy results. For oven preparation, preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the package and bake for the recommended time, flipping halfway through. If using an air fryer, arrange them in a single layer and cook until golden brown and heated through. Ensure they are thoroughly heated before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional homemade flautas, these are pre-assembled and frozen, saving significant preparation time. The combination of chorizo, egg, and cheese offers a distinct flavor profile compared to other filled tortillas. The frying process used in their creation contributes to a consistent crispiness.
Who it is for
Anyone looking for a fast and flavorful meal or snack will appreciate these flautas.
How to keep the rest
Keep these flautas frozen in their original packaging until ready to cook. Once cooked, they are best enjoyed immediately. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days, though they may lose some of their crispiness upon reheating.
