  • If you don't have corn tortillas, you can use flour tortillas instead. Just be sure to heat them up before filling and rolling.
  • To make the flautas ahead of time, assemble them and then freeze them. When you're ready to bake them, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for about an hour.
  • Serve the flautas with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
