with Pico de Gallo, Lime Crema & Guacamole

By Recipe0 System

Don’t get us wrong, we love a traditional taco—but when we’re in the mood to mix things up, we love flautas, aka rolled-up tacos with a crispy outer shell. Here, we achieve the signature flauta crunch factor by baking the stuffed tortillas (full of zesty beef and Mexican cheese) for perfectly golden results—no messy deep-frying required. That crispy crust is the perfect canvas for all our favorite toppings: pico de gallo, lime crema, and guacamole. Yes, you really can have it all.

Instructions

4 steps

1

Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush with oil or coat with nonstick spray. Wash and dry all produce.

Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 1 TBSP (2 TBSP for 4 servings).
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion; cook for 3 minutes.

Stir in beef*; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and onion is softened, 4-6 minutes.

Stir in Tex-Mex paste and 1/3 cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Simmer until mixture is thickened and beef is cooked through, 2-4 minutes. Turn off heat.
3

Meanwhile, drizzle tortillas with 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4 servings); brush or rub to completely coat.

Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Once beef filling is done, add a heaping ¼ cup filling to one side of each tortilla, then sprinkle with 1 TBSP Mexican cheese. Roll up tortillas, starting with filled sides, to create flautas. Place seam sides down on prepared sheet. TIP: Make sure the flautas are snug on the sheet—this will prevent them from unrolling.

Bake on middle rack until golden brown and crispy, 8-12 minutes.
4

While flautas bake, finely dice tomato. Zest and quarter lime. In a small bowl, combine tomato, minced onion, half the lime zest, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt.

In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream, remaining lime zest, and a squeeze of lime juice. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt.

Divide flautas between plates. Top with pico de gallo, lime crema, and guacamole. Serve.
