Notes
Keeping Flautas Warm
Keep them warm on a parchment-lined baking sheet in the oven that is set to warm or the lowest temperature while preparing the rest of the Flautas
Frying time:
I fried each side for about 1 minute before turning
If they are browning too quickly or turning dark brown, turn the heat down a smidge
