Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter on medium heat for around 30 seconds.
Add the onions and garlic, sautéing until slightly caramelized and fragrant, 2 – 3 minutes.
Next, add the refried beans, ALL of the spices, and lime juice.
Cook for 5 minutes to allow all of the flavours to combine.
Transfer to a large bowl and cool slightly.
To assemble the flautas, warm up the corn tortillas in a pan over low heat or in the microwave until soft and pliable.
Scoop approximately 3 tbsp of the refried beans to the middle or each tortilla.
Sprinkle some of the crumbled queso fresco on top of the refried beans and roll.
Lightly grease a large pan with avocado oil and place over medium-high heat.
Place the assembled flautas in, seam side down, and cook for 2 – 3 minutes on each side until golden and slightly crispy.
Set the finished flautas on a serving dish, and repeat these steps until all are completed.
Top the flautas with salsa Verde, Mexican crema, more crumbled queso fresco, and fresh cilantro.
Enjoy immediately- serving with lime wedges!
