“Class” Notes:
Flautas (also know as taquitos) are a rolled, crispy style taco that’s typically fried. The filling can vary and is typically chicken, shredded pork, or beef. I like that these can be easily customizable with any filling that you prefer.
Because I love to BBQ, I often have left over smoked pulled pork. After creating a batch of my Keto Corn Style Tortillas, I simple fill and roll each one. They easily seal naturally too, as long as they aren’t sitting for too long in the open air.
Lightly pan fry them in a little bit of avocado oil. Avocado oil has a high smoke point and is better for cooking the tortillas so the fry and don’t burn.
Once they are cooked, I lie to plate them over some cabbage or shredded lettuce. Add a nice amount of sour cream, some slice jalapenos, salsa, avocado and hot sauce if that’s what your prefer.
Serve them up with one of my favorite low carb hatch chili margarita or this Mezcal inspired mule!
Ingredients
- 1 Batch of Keto Tortillas
- 1.5 cups of Shredded Meat Chicken, Beef, or Pulled Pork
- Avocado Oil for Pan Frying
Instructions
- Prepare the keto tortillas per the directions and set them aside. Prep any meat needed for the filling.
- Lay one tortilla in front of you and place a few tablespoons of meat towards the front 1/3rd of the tortilla shell. Tightly but gently, roll the tortilla up (you do not need to close off the sides). It will naturally seal and stick together.
- Preheat a pan to medium heat with a few teaspoons of avocado oil (you will not need a lot). Lightly brown the seam side down first, then rotate the flauta to brow the other side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. I like to cook in smaller batches and they cook in under a few minutes each.
- Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
