Instructions
1. Prepare the Special Sauce
Combine mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a mixing bowl.
Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Cook the Ground Beef
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add diced onions. Sauté until translucent.
Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula.
Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and mustard powder.
Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, then set aside to cool slightly.
3. Assemble the Flautas
Lay a flour tortilla flat and add a spoonful of the cooked ground beef mixture along the center.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef.
Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
4. Fry the Flautas
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the flautas seam-side down into the oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
5. Serve
Remove toothpicks from the flautas.
Drizzle the special sauce over the top of each flauta.
Garnish with shredded lettuce, diced pickles, and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Cooking and Serving Tips
• Variations: Add diced onions or pickles inside the flautas for extra flavor.
• Serving Suggestions: Pair with a side of French fries or a fresh salad.
• Storage: Best enjoyed fresh. If needed, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven to maintain crispiness.
