What We Are eating - Baked Tacos

 


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
