Tacos Dorados, also known as flautas, are a beloved Mexican dish with a rich history. Originating in the central and southern regions of Mexico, these crispy, rolled tacos are traditionally filled with shredded chicken or beef, then fried to golden perfection. The dish is believed to have been created in the state of Sinaloa, where it quickly gained popularity before spreading throughout the country. Today, Tacos Dorados can be found in restaurants and street food stalls across Mexico, with each region adding its own unique twist to the recipe. To experience the best version of this dish, head to Mexico City or Puebla, where talented chefs elevate the simple yet flavorful filling and crispy shell to new heights. Whether enjoyed with a side of guacamole, salsa, or a sprinkle of queso fresco, Tacos Dorados are a must-try for any food enthusiast.
