The catch with this recipe is you can't make that many at a time. If you need to feed a crowd, try making my enchiladas recipe instead: • Green Enchiladas
**RECIPE, SERVES 3-4**
For the flautas:
6-10 taco-size tortillas, corn or flour (I prefer ultra-thin corn for this)
1 15.5 oz (439g) can of beans (I use black or kidney)
1 4 oz (113g) can of diced green chilies
4 oz (113g) smooth-melting cheese (I use Monterey Jack)
cumin
dried oregano
garlic powder
salt
olive oil
water and cornstarch (if using corn tortillas)
Rinse and drain the beans. Dump in the chilies, and tear in the cheese in chunks. Season with cumin, oregano, garlic powder and salt to taste. Squish a few hands-full of the beans into paste, then mix everything throughly. Be sure to taste for seasoning - some canned beans are much saltier than others.
If using corn tortillas, wrap them in a damp towel and heat them until warm to make them more pliable - I use the microwave. Also if using corn, dissolve a dash of cornstarch in a little water and heat it until boiling and gelatinized to use as a glue.
Position a log of filling onto the middle of each tortilla, then use your finger to smear the cornstarch glue onto the edge of the tortilla that will form the outer seal - plain water is fine if you're using flour tortillas. Roll each tortilla up tight with the seal positioned on the bottom.
An a wide pan or griddle, heat a film of olive oil over medium-low heat. Put in each of the flautas seam-side down, and mop each one around in the oil to make sure the bottom is coated. You might need to slide the flautas around as they cook so they each brown evenly. When the first side is golden and crispy, flip them all and repeat. With flour tortillas I usually try to brown a third side, but corn tortillas are usually too delicate to lay on their sides.
When everything is golden and the filling is hot and melty, you're done. Serve with your choice of one of the condiments below.
For pico de gallo:
1 fresh globe tomato
1 shallot (or half an onion)
1 jalapeño
1-2 limes
fresh cilantro
salt
Dice the tomato, shallot, jalapeño (take out the ribs if you don't want the heat). Squeeze in the juice of one or two limes to taste, tear in some cilantro leaves and maybe mix in a little salt.
For pink pickled onion/shallots:
2-3 red shallots (or one red onion, but shallots pickle faster)
Enough vinegar to submerge (red wine vinegar enhances the purple color)
A couple spoons of sugar (optional)
Fresh cilantro on the side (optional)
Peel and cut the shallots (or onion) in half and slice into thin semi-circles. Transfer to a bowl, submerge in vinegar, and stir in a couple spoons-full of sugar - don't worry if it doesn't seem to dissolve at first. Put the bowl in the fridge. If you can do this a couple hours or days ahead of time they'll be a lot better, but they'll taste like pickles after 20 minutes or so.
Use a fork to drain the pickles as you transfer them to the plate with the flautas, and I like to have a big pile of cilantro leaves next door.

Come to find out northern Mexico loves flour tortillas. Now I buy 50% flour-50% masa tortillas from a grocery store that makes them fresh. Best of both worlds

He's a very open and informative chef youtuber who has not thrown shade on plant based diets unlike most. He's one of the best out there and the fact he's progressively more vegan-friendly is wonderful. I could be talking out my ass though and the last few videos have been a coincidence but that's what I've seen.

I just made these with flour tortillas! Super good! I would recommend getting the reduced sodium black beans and salting the outside of the tortillas. Idk why but I think it’s very satisfying to have the salt on the tortilla so it’s like a nice contrast with the filling. Also this is probably the cheapest recipe I’ve done. It cost me like $5 (not counting making a side dish). This is a great recipe for a college student-thanks Adam!
Just made these tonight... totally worth it. If you're reading this, make these for dinner. You won't regret it. 10/10

I like your recipes, very quick without wasting time, thanks for sharing
yes! finally corn tortillas! as I commented in one of your previous videos corn tortillas are way more common and more liked in Mexico (especially here in the capital), if you heat them up slowly on a pan or as you did: in the microwave, they become less "brittle" and are a lot more tasty than flour tortillas! you should make enchiladas with them, a quick trick you can use it to make them tastier is to heat the corn tortillas in hot oil for just a couple if seconds until the become soft (not crunchy), then while still hot fill them up with chicken or your preferred filling, afterwards you can put the salsa to get them nice and moist :3

"Asian style flautas", misspelled seems like the surefire way to upset a much larger chunk of people. Well done!

I realised I've been watching far too much of this channel when I knew exactly when the ad was coming. Worth it.
Adam trying to cook Mexican food always confuses me. This looks pretty tasty, but he again seems to have avoid doing research. There are a few common tricks that would have made his job easier, ever for this low oil take. Mexicans use tooth picks to help taquitos hold their shape. It takes an extra step but makes them so much easier to cook. Lightly cooking corn tortillas in hot oil makes them super playable and very easy to roll. Keeping the filling dry (if you like cheese try one that doesn't melt readily) and adding cheese on top also makes them easier to cook and avoids oil splatter and cheese leakage. This is less of an issue with this method, but, along with the pre fry, will let you cook them hotter and faster.

i've watched and loved your content enough to tell you have a cold. hope you feel better soon!
