Air Fryer Flautas with Avocado Lim Dip | GF

Super-easy homemade flautas are made perfectly crispy in the air fryer - without any cooking oils! They're simple, delicious, and couldn't be more perfect dipped in my two-ingredient avocado lime dip. 
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time16 minutes
Total Time26 minutes
Servings: 12 flautas

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 packet mild taco seasoning
  • 4 oz can diced green chiles
  • 3/4 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 12 almond flour tortillas I like the Siete brand
  • 1 medium avocado
  • juice of 2-3 limes

Instructions

  • Warm a skillet over medium to medium high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned. Use a wooden spoon to break it into fine crumbles. Add the taco seasoning and diced green chiles, and cook 1-2 more minutes to combine and warm through.
  • Prep the tortillas by warming them up so they don't break while rolling: either for 30 seconds in the microwave, in a stack wrapped in paper towels; OR on the stovetop in a small dry skillet one at a time.
  • Keep the warm tortillas wrapped in a towel while you fill & roll one at a time. Bring out a warm tortilla, then sprinkle 1 tbsp of shredded cheese along the edge where the flautas will seal up. To the center, add 2 tbsp of the meat mixture and shape it into a horizontal rectangle. Roll the tortilla up, gently but somewhat tightly, ending where the cheese is.
    Place the rolled flautas in the air fryer basket, seam side down.
  • Air fry for 4 minutes at 450ºF. Flip the flautas, and cook for 2 more minutes or until as browned as you like.
  • While the flautas cook, you can make the dip. Scoop the avocado out into a bowl and add the lime juice (start with 2 limes and add one more if you like!)
    Use a stick blender to blend until super smooth. If you don't have one, you can do a bullet style blender or even just mash well with a fork. Easiest if your avocado is nice and ripe!
  • Serve the flautas hot & crispy, dipped in the avocado lime dip. ENJOY!

Notes

If you have any left over flautas, they store great in the fridge and can be reheated in the oven or toasted oven at 350ºF until warmed.
