Chile and Cheese Flautas

Chilean cheese flautas are a delicious and easy Mexican recipe you can try at home. The dough is made with just four ingredients and can be prepped and cooked in under 30 minutes. Serve them with your favorite salsa or guacamole for an easy and tasty meal.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 pound Mexican cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 green pepper, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 6 flour tortillas
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

In a medium skillet over medium heat, fry the onion and green pepper in oil until softened. Add the garlic powder and salt, and black pepper to taste. Then, stir in the cheese until melted.

Divide the cheese mixture among the 6 tortillas. Roll up each tortilla into a tight cylinder. Fry the flautas in hot oil until golden brown on both sides (about 2 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels before serving.

Tuna Tacos

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. fresh tuna steak, cut into small pieces
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely diced
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, juiced

Instructions:

In a large bowl, combine the tuna, onion, jalapeño pepper, cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. What you need to do next is to preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish. Arrange the tuna mixture in the dish and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tuna is cooked through. Serve hot!

Tuna tacos are a popular Mexican dish that can be made at home in just a few minutes. They are very simple to make and can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course. The best part is that they are very versatile, so you can change the ingredients to suit your own taste. Here are some easy tuna tacos recipes you can try:

• Tuna Tacos with Pineapple Salsa: In this version of tuna tacos, the salsa is made with pineapple pieces instead of tomatoes. The sweetness of the pineapple balances well against the salty flavors in the salsa mix, making for an excellent variation on this classic dish.
