This lazy FLAUTAS RECIPE takes less than 15 minutes! 3 ways I make taquitos QUICK & EASY

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

refried beans

🥗Healthier: black beans

💰Cheaper: pinto beans

Black beans are lower in fat and high in fiber.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: queso fresco

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

guacamole

🥗Healthier: avocado spread

💰Cheaper: mashed avocado

Mashed avocado is simpler and still creamy.

Hydrate instant mashed potatoes with 2/3 cup chicken bouillon broth.

Add onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and cracked black pepper to the potatoes and mix until combined, aiming for a drier consistency.

Coat the bottom of a pasta bowl with cooking oil.

Microwave corn tortillas for 1.5 to 2 minutes in 30-second intervals until heated.

Make a paste with 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and cold water, or use cornstarch for a gluten-free option.

Take a corn tortilla and add 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture, shaping it to fit.

Roll the tortilla tightly, using the flour paste to seal it at the end, with the seam side down.

Preheat cooking oil in a frying pan to 350-355°F for shallow frying.

Fry the rolled tortillas seam side down in batches, flipping them until golden brown.

Remove the fried flautas and drain on paper towels.
