Potato Flautas

Crispy fried tortillas filled with potato

Flautas are made from tortillas that are filled, rolled up & fried. They can be made with beef, cheese or chicken, or anything you like! The result: a long, thin roll that's extra crispy & bursting with a savory, spiced filling.

Makes 12 Flautas

Cooking Instructions

  1. Place the potatoes in a pot & cover in water. Bring to boil & once boiling, bring the flame down to medium & let it cook for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  2. Pour the content of the pot into a colander & leave the potatoes there to cool down & remove excess water for 5 minutes.
  3. Place the potatoes in a bowl, add the olive oil & salt & then smash them using a fork or masher. Then add the milk & continue smashing until you achieve a smooth consistency.
  4. Reheat the tortillas & place them in a tortilla warmer or tea-towel so they stay soft.
  5. Grab one tortilla at a time & put a tablespoon full of potato mash & extend along the tortilla. Roll the tortilla & place a toothpick horizontally to keep the tortilla rolled. Do the same for the rest of the tortillas.
  6. On a very hot saucepan add a tablespoon of vegetable oil & put 3 to 4 tortilla rolls. Every minute flip the rolls so all sides are fried.  Fry them for a maximum of 5 minutes or until crunchy.  Place the rolls on a plate with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
  7. Repeat step 6 for the remainder of the tortilla rolls.
  8. Place the tortilla rolls (or flautas) on a plate & cover with lettuce on top. Then add the radish slices, coriander, guacamole & salsa on top.

¡Buen provecho!
