In the first Hello Fresh Box, one of our favorite meals was the Beef Flautas, which are basically baked tacos. They were super easy and I knew I could alter the recipe to make them at home without all of the Hello Fresh Ingredients. They did not disappoint!
Simply:
1) Make your taco meat however you like it - with taco seasoning, with homemade seasoning, with green chili's and onions - it is 100% up to you! (I cooked about 1 1/2 pounds and had some meat left)
2) Preheat your over to 425 degrees. Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. The size of the tray will determine how many you can fit in a row - I used a medium size tray and got 11 on the tray.
3) Lightly brush both sides of the tortilla with olive oil. Scoop 1/4 cup of the meat on the tortilla followed by about a tablespoon of cheese. Roll tightly and lay side by side on the pan. (Like piano keys!!) (I wish I would have taken a photo of the pan before cooking!)
4) Once they are all rolled, place them in the oven for about 12 minutes. They come out crispy yet soft. They are amazing.
I added a "salad" - lettuce, black olives, tomatoes and cheese to eat with the tacos and also had homemade guacamole and sour cream too. I sprinkled some cheese on top after they came out of the oven.
This is our new favorite taco recipe - we love these 100% more than plain old tacos!
On a side note - these re-heat up fantastically in the air fryer for leftovers. I set mine to "reheat" and cook them for about 5 minutes. They taste like they are fresh out of the oven
