These were the best tasting baked flautas I have had in a long time. This is my recipe made from leftover black beans and rice...added all the remaining ingredients I had on hand..you can change up any of these ingredients to make to your family's liking..we liked these just fine! Hope you do too! Good using other meats or shredded vegetables with refried beans and rice.
