Quick and Easy Ground Beef and Potato Flautas // Step by Step ❤️

I think we all have one of those days when we crave something crunchy that will hit the spot. This is my go to recipe when i want something easy and delicious, i guess my mom prepared it alot for us growing up for the same reasons. I prepare these flautas often and just change the filling around some and change the flavor to a whole new level. I love siding my flautas with refried beans topped with freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese because it melts in the beans, and it just doesn't get better than that. Since i prepare these often I'm able to leave the grated mozzarella ( or any melting cheese) that can be added to the meat and potato filling out, but if you think the filling will crumble and fall out on you when frying then go ahead and add it because it'll work like a glue and it'll also be delicious in the filling. I hope you give this recipe a try. ❤️

Thank you so much for your comment dear friend, and i always appreciate your support of my channel.

Years ago, when I lived in California, I went to a little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant that had the best food, and once I had flautas, they became my fav. Your ground beef and potatoe flautas sound great, and I will be making them this coming weekend. Good football food.

Yes!! I think it's great football food too. If you're making them for the first time, be sure to add some cheese to the filling because that will help keep everything together my friend. ❤

This looks like a most tasty item. Adding the potatoes is a great idea!

[@Lwah0812]

A tip I learned on another channel that I really like is to make a fairly thick paste of either flour and water or cornstarch and water and when rolling the flautas or taquitos spread some on the end of the tortilla, it will “glue” them shut. It has made my roll ups much easier to fry, bake or air fry. I am making these tonight but I am using chicken instead of beef because that’s what we have and my Mike loves chicken. I’ve never made them with potatoes but I am excited to try them. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 FIVE STARS! 🤩🎊🎊🎊🎊 I just finished cleaning up after dinner and Rachel, Rachel, Rachel… I am beginning to believe that I can cook some good Mexican food….as long as I follow your recipes. My Mike says compliments to me and of course to you because without you it wouldn’t have happened! He is a huge fan of your salsa that I made today and this dinner was amazing. Your Ron is a very lucky man! Chefs kiss to you!
