Spicy Bean and Cheese Flautas Recipe – Winner Winner, Flautas Dinner

I absolutely love to make this flautas recipe for my family. It’s quick and easy, and it tastes wonderful. It has all the flavor and texture of real, honest-to-goodness Mexican food, not that stuff that uses chips for taco shells. The beauty of this flautas recipe is that it is so full of flavor, but it doesn’t take long at all to prepare. I like that because I’d much rather hang out with the family than the oven! The oven is nice enough, but it’s not big on conversation.

Whether it’s game day or just a special treat to break up the monotony, this spicy been and cheese flautas recipe is a winner every time. I love to make this on the weekends in the winter, and it’s always a staple for us when we watch football. It’s simple, hearty, delicious, and – bonus – practically a finger food!

5. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper; set aside. Place tortillas in front of you. Add about 2 TBS of filling in a horizontal line in the center of the tortilla. Leave about 1 inch on each side (filling should stop one inch from end- do not spread to the end or it will all come out while baking). Fold tortilla over filling, press together, and roll. Place on baking sheet seam side down. Repeat for additional 11 tortillas.
6. Lightly brush or spray the tops of the tortillas with olive oil, place into oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until tops of tortillas are lightly browned. Remove from oven.
