To prepare these flautas, you can use your oven or an air fryer for a crispy result. Preheat your appliance according to package directions. Place the flautas on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook until they are golden brown and heated through. For a softer texture, you can also microwave them, though this will affect the crispiness. Serve them hot with your favorite toppings.
