Instructions
- 1
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- 2
Season the beef with ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- 3
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them more pliable.
- 4
Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface and distribute the cooked beef evenly among them.
- 5
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the beef on each tortilla.
- 6
Roll up the tortillas tightly around the filling to form the flautas.
- 7
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You'll need enough oil to cover at least half of the flautas when they are placed in the pan.
- 8
Once the oil is hot, fry the flautas in batches, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes per batch.
- 9
Remove the flautas from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
