Fofky's Flautas - A Tex-Mex Recipe

Flautas (Spanish for Flutes) are normally made with flour tortillas. Taquitos are the same thing but they are made with corn tortillas. For me, it's potato-potato. I like corn. So, this recipe is an adaptation of Food Network's Chicken Flautas with Avocado Cream. No Avocado Cream was used here. Fofky's Kitchen just wanted to devour flautas like in her Corporate America days where a next door restaurant made it for lunch. I ran out of cumin making Chili Con Carne so I used some subs to get the flavor I needed. This recipe is zesty, comforting and crispy! Try it.
