Baked Flautas

1. Preheat oven at 395 degrees F. Bake on cooling rack (over the baking sheet) for 10 to 12 minutes turning once at halfway point.
2. Note: Make sure flautas are not touching so that the hot air circulates and crisps all sides evenly.

Fried Flautas

1. Heat enough oil in a deep stock pot/Dutch oven or skillet to reach ½ inch up the sides. Heat to 350 degrees F.
2. Fry flautas, 3 at a time, until golden brown, turning a few times while frying. Drain on paper towels.
