flauta
Crispy tortilla roll
A flauta is a Mexican dish consisting of a tortilla tightly rolled around a filling—typically shredded meat—and deep-fried until crispy.
The name comes from the Spanish word for flute, which the slender, cylindrical shape resembles.
Flautas are usually served with toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
The terms flauta and taquito are often used interchangeably, though some distinguish them by tortilla type: flour for flautas, corn for taquitos.
