  • 1 can roasted tomatoes
  • 1 pack of your favorite taco seasoning
  • Salt + pepper
  • Dairy free shredded Mexican cheese or preferred cheese
  • Diced red onion for topping
  • Chopped cilantro or chives

                        Directions

  • Let simmer together for about 5 minutes then set aside.

  • Add a decent amount of vegan filling to the middle of tortilla followed by shredded dairy free cheese.
  • Starting from one side begin to roll tortilla over itself until it is secure. (You can secure with a toothpick if you like).
  • Once all of your flautas are rolled, brush the top with olive oil and place in oven for 20 minutes or until flautas are slightly golden.
  • While flautas are cooking prepare your toppings.
  • Once flautas are done cooking, transfer to a plate and top with tomatillo salsa, red salsa, dairy free crema, chopped red onion, pickled jalapeños and sprinkle with chopped chives.
