Experience the authentic flavors of Mexico with this simple yet delicious vegan flautas recipe. You only need three ingredients to create these scrumptious delights.
Heat tortillas on a skillet for 10-15 seconds to make them pliable.
To make the flautas, scoop a spoonful of mashed potatoes onto the center of each tortilla. Spread the potatoes evenly across the tortilla. Then, roll up the tortilla and place it onto a long skewer. Continue this process until you have three or four tacos on each skewer.You could also make them individually.

Remove the tacos from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
Repeat until all the tacos are done.

How to store flautas?
To store flautas, allow them to cool down to room temperature. Then, place them in an airtight container or a plastic ziplock bag.
You can keep them in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. If you want to store them for a longer period, you can freeze them for up to 2-3 months.
To reheat, you can bake them in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or until they are heated and crispy. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, but they may not be as crispy as when baked in the oven.
