Flautas, a popular Mexican dish, are crispy, rolled tortillas filled with savory ingredients like shredded chicken, beef, or cheese. Originating in the Puebla region of Mexico, flautas have a rich history dating back to the early 19th century. The name "flauta" translates to "flute" in Spanish, referencing the flute-like shape of the rolled tortilla. Renowned chefs like Rick Bayless and Diana Kennedy have popularized flautas in the United States, incorporating their own unique twists. Today, the best flautas can be found in authentic Mexican restaurants across the country, with the key to a perfect flauta lying in the crispy, golden-brown shell and flavorful, tender filling. Whether topped with guacamole, salsa, or sour cream, flautas are a delicious and satisfying dish that continues to delight food enthusiasts worldwide.
