Ingredients

Servings

For the Filling

  • ½ tsp neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
  • ½ onion diced
  • ½ green bell pepper diced
  • ½ lb pork steak diced into small cubes
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 2 garlic minced, cloves
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp oregano
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper ground
  • Pinch cinnamon
  • ½ c water

Putting It All Together

  • 10 (6") flour tortillas
  • sour cream for serving
  • salsa
  • guacamole

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450F.
  2. Heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan. Add the diced onions and green pepper and sauté them over medium-high heat 5 min, or until soft.
  3. Add the meat and sauté for 1 minute to start to sear the pieces.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced tomato, seasonings, and water. Stir to mix well. Simmer the mixture, uncovered, until the pork is cooked through and the liquid has simmered out (7-10 min). Remove the pan from the heat.
  5. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease the foil with cooking spray.
  6. Place roughly 3 Tbsp of filling down the center of each flour tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place the rolled flautas, seam-side down, onto the greased baking sheet, spacing them roughly 1 inch apart. Repeat until all the filling has been used.
  7. Spray the flautas with a light coating of cooking spray and bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden and crisp.
  8. Remove the flautas from the oven and serve immediately with your desired toppings.

Notes

  • The Flautas can be made ahead of time and frozen. Simply place the rolled flautas in a sealed container in the freezer.
  • To serve, bake from frozen in a preheated, 450F oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden. (Be careful, they will be HOT when coming out of the oven!)
