I'm not a Mexican food expert, but this is my understanding. Although they share similar characteristics (rolled tortilla, filled with thinly sliced beef or chicken, then deep fried), I believe the difference is in the tortilla, length and how they're eaten. A taquito is usually made with a corn tortilla, smaller in size and eaten as an appetizer. A flauta, in contrast, is generally made with a flour tortilla, larger than a taquito and eaten as a main dish. I've also heard that some people use both terms interchangeably to described a deep fried tortilla filled will any type of meat or cheese-based filling. Not sure if everyone agrees on this point, though.
