Repeat with remaining tortillas. Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry the flautas in the preheated oil, no more than 4 at a time, until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Drain the flautas on a paper towel-lined plate. Discard toothpicks and top finished flautas with remaining salsa.

Taquitos and flautas are sometimes categorized by their size, shape, or the particular kind of tortilla used in their preparation. Oftentimes the term flautas (which translates as “flutes”) is used to refer to a large flour tortilla that is rolled up around a filling and deep fried. Sometimes these are rolled to be narrower on one end than the other to create a long, tapered cone shape.

They may not be wrong necessarily. That’s because some restaurants make taquitos with flour tortillas and flautas with corn tortillas. It really depends on whether or not you find yourself north or south of the border. So next time you are served this Mexican delicacy, glance at the tortilla for answers.

Place a corn tortilla in the oil for 1 to 2 seconds on either side to soften. Repeat with all of the tortillas (if possible, have someone help you do this). Place tortillas on paper towel to soak up some of the oil. Put 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of a tortilla and sprinkle some cheese on top. Roll up tortilla and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet, seam side down. Repeat with all of the tortillas until chicken mixture is gone. If there is any cheese left over, sprinkle it over the rolled tortillas.

Stir in the Cheddar cheese, then remove from heat, and set aside. Lightly brush each corn tortilla will a layer of salsa. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in a line along the bottom edge of the tortilla. Tightly roll the tortilla into a cylinder, and secure the ends with one or two toothpicks.

I have often received questions on the subject of flautas and taquitos (also called tacos dorados)—mainly about how to tell them apart and what makes them different. As with so many Mexican cuisine-related topics, there is a short answer and a longer, much more nuanced and complete one.

Nothing to do with flour/corn tortillas... Flautas and taquitos are the same thing. I think the wording depends on the region. Nothing to do with flour/corn tortillas. Try Cielito Lindo at the top of Olvera Street for a good street version of these.

At first glance taquitos and flautas appear to be similar. Both are served stuffed, rolled into a cylinder shape and fried until golden and crispy. However, there are subtle differences between them. Generally speaking, taquitos are prepared with corn tortillas.

Chicken Flautas are a great lunch or dinner to whip up if you don’t have a lot of time but still want a good, hot family pleasing meal. They are perfect for kids or for an after school snack. Chicken Flautas are surprisingly filling and one batch goes a long way. It can feed a family for dinner or you can freeze/refrigerate for snacks throughout the week. Usually each kid will only eat one for a snack after school. We love dipping these in sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and/or ranch dressing.

In my experience, flautas are sort of a deep-fried version of enchiladas (the rolled or folded kind, not the stacked kind)in the same way that chimichangas are like deep-fried burritos.
