Flautas with Queso Fresco & Rajas
Prep Time10 Minutes
Servings12
Cook Time15 Minutes
Ingredients
Vegetable oil, for frying
3 large jalapeno peppers, stemmed, seeded and sliced lengthwise 1⁄4 inch thick.
1⁄2 Yellow Onion, diced
12 Corn Tortillas
Shredded Lettuce
Sliced Radish
Sliced Serrano
Cacique brand Ranchero Queso Fresco, for garnish
Cacique Crema Mexicana, for garnish
Cacique Avocado Tomatillo Salsa, for garnish
Directions

1. Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds. You want them to be warm, so they are easier to roll. A cold tortilla will rip.

 

2. Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place the tip of a wooden spoon into oil to test, once you see bubbles, the oil is ready. Working in batches of 5 to 6, take a tortilla add a strip of the Queso Fresco cheese, a strip or two of jalapeño and sprinkle on some diced onion. Roll tightly, then place in the hot oil seam side down and fry for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat with the remainder of the tortillas.

 

3. Arrange the flautas on a platter, then top with lettuce, crumble on Queso Fresco, radish, and serrano over the flautas and finish with a drizzling of Crema Mexicana and Avocado Tomatillo Salsa
