Taquitos and Flautas and Rolled Tacos
A Mexican dish consisting of small tortillas that are rolled around a filling of meat and cheese and then deep-fried. Commonly known as flautas when they are larger than their taquito and also known as tacos dorados, rolled taco……..
Although taquitos/taco dorados are usually made with corn tortillas and flautas are made with flour tortillas.
Flautas are carefully rolled to be round (and cooked in abundant oil in order to keep that shape), while taquitos or tacos dorados use a twice-folded tortilla rather than a rolled one, making for a somewhat flattened product that can easily be fried in much less oil.
Anyway - flautas and/or taquitos are usually served topped with or on a bed of chopped lettuce or cabbage, sometimes accompanied by diced tomatoes, onions, and/or avocados.
They are often adorned with shredded or crumbled cheese and crema or sour cream, and offered with a choice between two or more sauces (often a red one and green one) as a condiment. Guacamole and/or refried beans are also frequently included as part of a serving of taquitos or flautas.
