Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.
Step 2
Mash potatoes with milk and salt. Stir in Add Chihuahua cheese.
Step 3
Heat 1/2 inch oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of the mashed potato mixture, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick.
Step 5
Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in a dish towel or paper towel and microwave on high power for 2 minutes. If you don't steam them, they will crack when you roll them.
Step 6
When oil is hot enough to make the flautas sizzle, put 6 to 8 flautas in the oil; make sure there is room between them or they won't cook evenly. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. If the oil doesn't completely cover the flautas, flip over and fry the other sides. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.

  • 1 tablespoon milk
