This was so delicious and approved by all the family members. I’ve never seen my two year old absolutely demolish something like these Flautas. I think she ate 3? !

My whole family (6.5 year old and 4 year old included) LOVED this recipe! It came together so easily (I bought pre-shredded rotisserie chicken) and was able to make this and pack everything up for an impromptu pool dinner for Cinco de Mayo. We had enough leftover supplies to make a second batch for lunch today! The corn salad was so fresh and delicious - will be repeating that all summer!

I’m doing this with ground pork and just realized I mixed it all without cooking it first 😬 should I just cook it now? Or assemble it and leave it for longer in the oven?

HMMM. Hm. this is a puzzle. I'm worried it will get too greasy if you assemble without precooking. But I'm not sure how cooking all that dairy will go. Honestly, I think either way is a toss up and will come with some funkiness, but it'll still be delicious!! I think I'd assemble and cook for longer.

These were a hit in our house! Our six year old tried the flautas, loved the salad with chips (as though it were a salsa). I also did the flautas in the air fryer at 400 for about 8-10 minutes, they were crispy and delicious!

Made these last night and they were a hit. I microwaved the corn in my anyday dish bc I was lazy and using our little breville oven and didn’t have room on the sheet pan. Turned out great and I used the bowl to serve the salad.

Hey Caro! If I use frozen corn, could I still toss it on the sheet pan and roast it with the flautas? If so, should I defrost the corn first and then roast, or can I roast from frozen? I’m worried about a soggy mess

Hi Hannah - you could def add to the sheet pan with the flautas! So you could either thaw and strain it, or you could run the frozen corn under cold water to remove any ice crystals. Enjoy!!!

I made this for the third time tonight, and I think I finally mastered it! Flavor, timing, portions, leftovers... I can now confidently add it to our regular, delicious rotation for a busy night. Thank you!!

This was another hit with the family. My toddler did best with the flautas cut into little sushi-shaped sections, then cut in half again to make half-moons (otherwise she was struggling a bit with the tortilla). Preschooler liked dipping his in the special sauce. My favorite was the corn salad!

Have made these three times now because my entire family (kiddos included) can’t get enough. Subbed frozen corn today (because, December) and the salad was still great. Thanks for another keeper to add to our rotation!

Not sure why I waited so long to make this one. So easy and delicious! Cooked a few on my WFH lunch break and saving the rest for the family tonight!

No sour cream or greek yogurt. Ok to omit for flautas? Thanks!

OK! AMAZING! Honestly? Life changing? These were so straight forward to make, so delicious, and my entire family LOVED them! Thank you for a new recipe to add to my "menu."

Wondering if anyone has tried these with the raw tortillaland tortillas they sell in the refrigerated section? I want to see if they can go directly into the oven from the bag.

As long as their pliable and don't break when rolling them, this should work perfectly as they'll cook in the oven!

Thanks for the quick response! I had sort of assumed I was just shouting into the void...

Report: This worked ok, not great. They needed at least double the cooking time and the inside flap of the roll-up was still a bit gummy. Worth the time to send each one through a hot pan (or just buy pre-cooked tortillas like a normal person).

I love these... Do you think they would freeze ok?

They freeze amazingly -- check out the "leftovers are a good thing" note for deets :):)

Wow. The first recipe we’ve made from your collection, and we will definitely do it again! (Only with extra next time for leftovers! 🤩)
