Ingredients

  • 1 lb organic ground beef, (or protein of your choice)
  • taco seasoning, (I used Siete mild taco seasoning)
  • 1 can refried pinto beans
  • 4-6 tortillas, (I prefer Siete cassava flour)
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil
  • peppers and onions, sauteed, (optional for topping)
  • avocado/ guac, (optional for topping)
  • cilantro, (optional for topping)
  • sour cream, (optional for topping)
  • salsa, (optional for topping)

Instructions

  • Prepare the taco-seasoned beef according to the packet directions, or season and cook your preferred protein until browned and fully cooked.
  • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or briefly over a gas flame until they are soft and pliable.
  • Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until they are warmed through, then remove from the heat.
  • Assemble each flauta by spreading a layer of warm beans on a tortilla, then adding a layer of the seasoned meat. Roll the tortilla as tightly as possible to keep the filling secure.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil. When the oil is hot, place the flautas seam-side down to seal them. Cook until the underside is golden, then rotate the flautas so all sides brown evenly and reach your preferred crispness.
  • Transfer to a plate and serve immediately with your choice of toppings—sautéed peppers and onions, avocado or guacamole, cilantro, sour cream, and salsa all make great accompaniments. Enjoy!
