Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 pound vegan ground beef
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup canola oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of canola oil.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Saute until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the vegan ground beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula until browned.
Stir in the taco seasoning and tomato paste, then pour in the vegetable broth. Mix until everything is well combined and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Season with salt and black pepper.
In another skillet, heat the rest of the canola oil over medium-high heat for frying.
While the oil is heating, warm the corn tortillas in a microwave or on a skillet until pliable to prevent tearing.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the vegan beef mixture along the center of each tortilla, then roll them tightly into flautas.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the flautas seam-side down into the oil. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the flautas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or vegan sour cream.
