Since I have been talking about traditions and typical
Mexican dishes. Today I will show you how to make tacos but not like the ones they
sell at the taco truck, these are called tacos dorados or as most people know them
flautas, okay let’s begin. First of all let’s go over the ingredients you’ll
need to make this delicious plate. You will need: corn tortillas, oil, some
type of filling like potatoes, chicken, beef or just cheese, you’ll need lettuce,
tomatos, sour cream, salt, avocado (if you desire), some type of spicy sauce
and queso fresco ( you’ll find it at any store). I usually make the flautas
with a potato filling, therefore I will teach you how make them like that. The
first thing you have to do is boil the potatoes until they are soft, while
doing that preheat your tortillas that way when you roll them they won’t break.
Once you’re done preheating the tortillas, cut all the vegetables. The tomatoes
should be sliced in little dice and the lettuce should be cut into little
strings, once you’re done put the vegetables aside. By now the potatoes should
be done, get them out of the water and let them cool for a little bit. After
they have cool down start peeling them once they are peeled put them in a plate
and smash them, don’t forget to add a pinch of salt. After this step, place a
pan at low medium heat and add the oil but don’t add too much, it should be
just enough so you can fry your rolled tacos. Now, get your preheated tortillas
and add the smashed potato, add just enough that way it won’t come out when you’re
frying the tacos. Once you’re done putting the filling in the tortillas, roll
them; now it’s time to fry the tacos. Fry them until they are golden brown and
seem crunchy enough. When you’re done frying all of your tacos set them on a plate,
add the lettuce and the tomato. Finally, add the sour cream and queso fresco, add a
slice of avocado and forget the spicy sauce. Now you have a delicious plate of
tacos dorados, enjoy!
