Kroger Flautas
What it is
Kroger Flautas are a convenient frozen appetizer or meal option. They consist of corn tortillas rolled around a savory filling, typically seasoned chicken or beef, and then fried to a crispy golden brown. These flautas are designed for quick preparation, offering a satisfying crunch and flavorful interior. They are a popular choice for parties, quick lunches, or as a side dish.
How people cook with it
These flautas are versatile and can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a larger meal.

To prepare Kroger Flautas, preheat your oven or air fryer according to package directions. Arrange the frozen flautas in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Bake or air fry until they are heated through and the exterior is golden and crispy. The cooking time will vary depending on the appliance and desired crispness. Serve immediately after cooking for the best texture and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to taquitos, flautas are generally larger and made with corn tortillas. Taquitos are often smaller and can be made with either corn or flour tortillas. The frying method also contributes to the distinct texture, with flautas aiming for a very crisp exterior.
