When it comes to Mexican food, tacos typically get all the glory. In our opinion, flautas are an unsung dinner hero. They’re technically just crispy, rolled-up tacos—but they’re really so much more than that. Seriously, what could be better than warm, crunchy tortillas stuffed with all kinds of delicious fillings? Ours boast refried black beans, diced poblano, and jalapeño-flecked pepper jack. They’re then pan-fried until deeply golden and topped with guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream, and hot sauce.

• Wash and dry all produce. • Finely dice tomato. Trim and thinly slice scallions. Halve lime. • In a small bowl, combine tomato, scallions, a big squeeze of lime juice, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. • Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Core, deseed, and dice poblano into ½-inch pieces.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and poblano; cook until just softened, 5-6 minutes. • Add Southwest Spice. Cook, stirring, until fragrant and warmed through, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove pan from heat.
• Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add refried beans and cook until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 TBSP butter. • Remove pot from heat. Season with plenty of salt and pepper.
• Place tortillas on a clean work surface, then spread with beans. Place a small amount of filling on one half of each tortilla, then sprinkle with pepper jack. • Roll up tortillas, starting with filled sides, to create flautas. Place seam sides down on a plate.
• Wash out pan used for filling. Heat a large drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add flautas seam sides down. • Cook, carefully turning so flautas stay intact, until golden brown and crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. TIP: Work in batches if necessary and watch carefully to avoid burning.
• Divide flautas between plates and top with guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream. Alternatively, serve with toppings on the side.
