How to Make Green Chili Flautas

  1. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 (4 ounce) can of chopped green chilies (undrained), and 1 teaspoon ground cumin. Cook until cheese is melted and mixture is heated through.
  4. Warm tortillas according to package directions or by briefly heating in a dry skillet over medium heat.
  5. Brush both sides of each tortilla with melted butter.
  6. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the beef mixture down the center of each tortilla.
  7. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
  8. Bake, uncovered, for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, brushing once halfway through with remaining melted butter.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or shredded lettuce.
