Directions:

Step 1: Make the Salsa Verde

Roast the tomatillos and serrano peppers on a skillet until slightly charred.

Blend with garlic, chicken broth, cumin, salt, cilantro, and lime juice until smooth.

Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, mix shredded meat with seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, salt & pepper).

Optionally, add shredded cheese for extra creaminess.

Step 3: Roll and Fry the Flautas

Warm tortillas slightly so they’re pliable.

Fill each tortilla with shredded meat and roll tightly.

Secure with toothpicks and fry in hot oil until golden and crispy.

Drain excess oil on paper towels.

Step 4: Assemble & Serve

Place flautas in a bowl.

Pour warm salsa verde over them (drown them!).

Top with Mexican crema, queso fresco, pico de gallo, and chopped cilantro.

🔥 Pro Tips:

Use beef barbacoa, chicken tinga, or carnitas for even more flavor.

Want extra crunch? Double fry the flautas for crispiness.

Make it spicier by adding extra serrano peppers to the salsa.
