Flautas de Verduras are crispy, rolled tortillas filled with a colorful medley of seasoned vegetables, perfect for a hearty vegan breakfast. These delightful flautas are served with a side of fresh avocado and salsa, making for a nutritious and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• Corn tortillas - 4
• Zucchini - 100 grams, diced
• Carrot - 100 grams, grated
• Bell pepper - 50 grams, diced
• Onion - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Avocado - 1, sliced (for serving)
• Salsa - 100 grams (for serving)

Steps

1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes.
2. Add the zucchini, carrot, and bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
3. Stir in the cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
4. Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or microwave until pliable. Place about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling in the center of each tortilla and roll tightly to form flautas.
5. In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the flautas in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
6. Serve the flautas hot with sliced avocado and salsa on the side.
