Cooking Tips

• If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake the flautas in the oven instead of frying them.
• Feel free to customize the filling by adding vegetables like bell peppers or corn.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover flautas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the flautas in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
