These flautas are perfect for when you have some leftovers. It allows you to breath new life into your stale tortillas, which are better for frying, and any left over chicken, cheese, or mashed potatoes you have.Ingredients
- 910g Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed
- 455g quesillo (Oaxaca string cheese), pulled
- 115g crema
- 2 tsp slat, plus more to taste
- 12-16 corn tortillas
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- To Serve
- 115g crema
- 125g queso fresco, crumbled
- 1 small head iceberg lettuce, finely shredded
- Your salsa of choice, but Salsa Verde is recommended
Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 190°C.
- Place the potatoes on a baking tray and bake for 30 minutes, until they can be easily pierced with a sharp knife.
- Mash the potatoes with the skin on and mix with the quesillo, crema, and salt. Season with more salt to taste.
- Place 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture in the centre of a tortilla and roll very tightly, using cocktail sticks to keep it from coming undone. Repeat as many times as your filling allows.
- Pour 1-inch oil into a large pan and heat over high heat until very hot but not smoking. Fry the flautas for 3 minutes, until they are crispy and golden brown.
- Remove the cocktail sticks from the flautas and serve topped with crema, queso fresco, and iceberg lettuce; with your choice of salsa on the side.
