Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 russet potatoes, peeled and finely chopped
6 ounces raw pork chorizo
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 corn tortillas
Iceberg lettuce, shredded
Mexican crema
Queso fresco
Store-bought red salsa

Steps:

  • In a large heavy saute pan, heat the oil on medium high heat. Saute the onions and potato until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the chorizo and saute until fully cooked, crisp and browned, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes and the chorizo to a medium mixing bowl and allow to cool.
  • Heat the tortillas directly on the gas burner, about 10 seconds per side, until just soft and pliable. Place 2 tablespoons of the chorizo and potato mixture onto the warmed tortilla and roll tightly to form a cigar.
  • In a separate heavy saute pan, heat enough oil to come 1-inch up the sides of a pan. When oil is hot, gently place a rolled tortilla in to fry. Fry on all sides until golden in color, about 4 minutes. Continue working in batches until done with all 10 tortillas. Cut in half and transfer to a serving platter. Top with some lettuce, drizzle with Mexican crema and crumbled queso fresco. Serve with any store-bought red salsa.

I loved the avocado salsa that came with these flautas. It was the perfect complement to the chorizo and potato filling.

These flautas were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less chorizo next time.

These flautas were easy to make and they tasted great. I used leftover chorizo and potatoes and they were still delicious.

I thought these flautas were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

The flautas were good, but the filling was a bit bland. I would add more spices next time.

These flautas were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These flautas were easy to make and they tasted amazing. I used ground beef instead of chorizo and they were still delicious.
