To Make:

-Slightly warm your tortilla of choice! I love using any of the Siete Foods tortillas as they’re smaller than regular tortillas but bigger than corn tortillas.

-Take a tortilla and spoon the mixture into the middle, then roll the tortillas into the flauta shape.

-Place the rolled flautas into a pyrex pan seam side down. Repeat until all the mixtures used (~12 flautas)

-For cheesy goodness sprinkle your cheese of choice on top. To keep vegan, the best is the VioLife Mexican Style Shreds or you can use any cheese of your choosing.

-In a 400 deg oven, bake the flautas for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the flautas are browned a little.

-Top the flautas with cabbage, shredded lettuce, kale salad, or whatever greens you’d like, some cilantro and avocado.
