Ingredients

Flautas

• The Awakening salsa

• 1 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or Cheddar)

• 12 small corn tortillas

• Vegetable oil, for frying

Optional Garnish

• Sour cream

• Guacamole

• Shredded lettuce

• Diced tomatoes

• Chopped green onions

Directions

Assemble the Flautas

1. Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable.

2. Place about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese onto each tortilla and roll tightly into a flute shape. Secure the seam with a toothpick if needed.

Fry the Flautas

1. In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

2. Place the flautas seam side down into the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding.

3. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, turning gently with tongs.

4. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve

1. Serve hot with The Awakening salsa and your choice of toppings.
