taquito

Mesoamerican food dish

Taquitos, tacos dorados, rolled tacos, or flautas are a Mexican dish that typically consists of small rolled-up tortillas that contain filling, including beef, cheese or chicken. The filled tortillas are then shallow-fried or deep-fried. The dish is often topped with condiments such as sour cream and guacamole. Corn tortillas are generally used to make taquitos. The dish is more commonly known as flautas when the little tacos are larger than their taquito counterparts, and can be made with either flour or corn tortillas.
