Beef Flautas Supreme
with Pico de Gallo, Lime Crema & Guacamole
- Milk
- Wheat
- Soy
Don’t get us wrong, we love a traditional taco—but when we’re in the mood to mix things up, we love flautas, aka rolled-up tacos with a crispy outer shell. Here, we achieve the signature flauta crunch factor by baking the stuffed tortillas (full of zesty beef and Mexican cheese) for perfectly golden results—no messy deep-frying required. That crispy crust is the perfect canvas for all our favorite toppings: pico de gallo, lime crema, and guacamole. Yes, you really can have it all.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush with oil or coat with nonstick spray. Wash and dry all produce. • Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 1 TBSP (2 TBSP for 4 servings).
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion; cook for 3 minutes. • Stir in beef*; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and onion is softened, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in Tex-Mex paste and 1/3 cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Simmer until mixture is thickened and beef is cooked through, 2-4 minutes. Turn off heat.
• Meanwhile, drizzle tortillas with 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4 servings); brush or rub to completely coat. • Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Once beef filling is done, add a heaping ¼ cup filling to one side of each tortilla, then sprinkle with 1 TBSP Mexican cheese. Roll up tortillas, starting with filled sides, to create flautas. Place seam sides down on prepared sheet. TIP: Make sure the flautas are snug on the sheet—this will prevent them from unrolling. • Bake on middle rack until golden brown and crispy, 8-12 minutes.
• While flautas bake, finely dice tomato. Zest and quarter lime. In a small bowl, combine tomato, minced onion, half the lime zest, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt. • In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream, remaining lime zest, and a squeeze of lime juice. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt. • Divide flautas between plates. Top with pico de gallo, lime crema, and guacamole. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Excellent meal. Have ordered various types of flautas previously and have always found them delicious. Very spicy but very good! Even my husband who often complains about spicy foods loves these. Definitely deserves the Hall of Fame label it has. We do omit the lime and skip making the salsa and crema to please my husband and just use the tomatoes, onions and sour cream as condiments to add as desired. I use all of them, but my husband only puts tomatoes on his. Highly recommend this meal.
The beef needed to be drained as it had a lot of grease but that wasn't in the directions. Also, the instructions never said when the Pico de Gallo was made but then said to top the flautas with it which would confuse others.
The baked flour tortilla made the flautas both crunchy and soft, which made it very easy to eat and the lime cream complemented the beef mixture perfectly, really enjoyed this dish.
Amazing sauce packet to add to the beef and simmer to thickness. Easy recipe. Don't skimp on oiling the tortillas. Delish lime sour cream drizzle and salsa to compliment the beef flautas
The guac, pico de gallo, and sour cream add to all the spices in the beef. The crunch of the baked tortillas adds a great texture.
Very tasty and easy to prepare! Really makes a difference to have fresh lime sauce, pico de gallo, and guac!
Very good. I missed the steps for the pico de gallo. I didn't see them on the recipe card. I really wish tacos, flautas and taquitos included a side dish. To my family this meal is just a snack unless I add to it.
This was good. I mixed the sour cream and quac together. Then poured it over the flautas. Also, I added another tomato to the pico de gallo.
We really liked the Beef Flautas Supreme. Just a little heat but not too much. Very tasty toppings.
Very good. The pico de gallo and lime crema were excellent toppings.
