SOOOO good! These "beef" flautas are so perfectly crispy and delish with the freshest salsa coming to ya from Tropical fruit box or find the fruits seasonally in your area if you can. 

Beef Flautas Rolled Flour Tacos with Tropical Salsa

Prepare the ground meat (meat + onion + oil) then add the cheese spread and the shredded cheese and combine until it forms a creamy mixture you can spread into the tortillas.

Heat the oil in a pan on the stove to medium heat. You want to have a shallow bath of oil but not be submerged in the oil.

Spread the beef/cheese mixture evenly out onto each tortilla and roll it up. You can line them up on a baking sheet lined with paper towels/parchment paper + feel free to use toothpicks to hold them secure as you cook.

When the oil is heated to just bubbling, fry the flautas in batches depending on the size of your pan for 5-6 minutes per side or until golden brown.

Let the flautas drain off any oil back on the baking sheet while you prepare the rest of the platter.

Chop all the fruit and herbs and combine in a large bowl.

Season well with salt and pepper and taste to see if it needs more lime, salt or honey before serving. Adjust as needed.

Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Combine all that goodness until creamy and delish. Make this in a mason jar then have it on hand for a week of yummy kicked up ranch!

Spread the cabbage out onto your platter then line up the flautas on it. Top with sliced avocado, papaya salsa, spicy ranch, cilantro + scallions. Serve immediately with spicy ranch

shredded cabbage (for a little bed on the platter for the flautas)
