📝 Ingredients

• 1 batch our grain free keto tortillas
• 1 1/2 - 2 cups cooked ground beef (or filling of choice, to taste)
• salsa verde
• Mexican crema (or sour cream)
• queso cotija (or crumbled feta cheese)
• onion rings
• iceberg lettuce (ribboned)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- For the keto Mexican flautas: ---
2. 2Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
3. 3Break the dough into eight 1” balls (26g a piece). Roll out between two sheets of parchment paper with a rolling pin or using a tortilla press until 5-inches in diameter (much easier). If fuzzy about presentation, trim edges if needed. Use the dough ASAP, so it remains sticky and you can close the pockets easily (it dries out after 10-15 minutes at room temp and you would have to re-roll it).
4. 4Assemble tacos by placing about 3-4 tablespoons of filling of choice at the center of each tortilla, and wrap the edges tightly around it. The raw dough will be sticky, so it should hold it's shape without trouble.
5. 5Place flautas in prepared tray, brush with olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden all over.
6. 6These guys are best served warm and straight from the oven, but they also do re-warm quite well.
