Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil then coat with cooking olive oil spray.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 6-7 minutes until slightly caramelized and tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is HOT add the diced pork tenderloin then season, to taste, with all of the spices. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown but not yet cooked through (it will finish cooking in the oven). Remove from the stove.
Wrap flour tortillas in wet paper towels and microwave them for 1 minute or until soft.
Place a bit of Monterey Jack cheese in the center of the tortilla first then add caramelized onion on top of the cheese, then diced pork tenderloin; roll.
Place, seam side down, on a baking sheet; finish rolling the rest of the flautas, then spray each of them with cooking spray.
Place into the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes then turn over and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
Serve the flautas with a side of guacamole, sour cream, and/or salsa for dipping. Enjoy.
