SAUTEED VEGGIE FLAUTAS
This recipe was inspired by a vegetarian quesadilla that I had at a small Mexican restaurant near my home. I love making chicken flautas, and thought that sauteed veggies might be a nice change--and it was! Sauteed vegetables wrapped in a flaky flour tortilla?...MmMmmmm.

VEGGIE FLAUTAS WITH SKINNY GUACAMOLE
Flautas are crisp, little rolled tacos, sometimes called "taquitos". To reduce the fat content, these flautas are filled with mushroom slices (instead of meat) and are baked (instead of fried). The guacamole was fat-reduced by using tomatillos for a portion of the sauce. This recipe was adapted from, "The Ultimate Low-Fat Mexican Cookbook" by Anne Greer.

Tips:
- To make the perfect flautas, use fresh, high-quality vegetables. Avoid using frozen or canned vegetables, as they will not have the same flavor or texture.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. If the vegetables are too large, they will not cook through properly.
- Season the vegetables generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the vegetables. If the pan is too crowded, the vegetables will not cook evenly and will become soggy.
- Cook the vegetables until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and flavorless.
- Use a good quality cheese that melts well. Avoid using pre-shredded cheese, as it does not melt as smoothly.
- Serve the flautas immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
These veggie flautas are a delicious and healthy appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or potluck, and they can be made ahead of time. With their crispy tortillas, flavorful vegetables, and melted cheese, these flautas are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
