Hola, Feliz Miércoles! I hope you are having a great week!
Today we are making these Flautas de Rajas con Queso (Cheese and Poblano Pepper Flautas with sautéed onion and mushroom) that are featured in the appetizer chapter from my new cookbook to celebrate Mexico’s Independence Day (which is celebrated on September 16th and not Cinco de Mayo)!
When I was a kid, I loved watching my mom cook. It was always a real treat, literally! If I sat in the kitchen watching her long enough she’d always give me a taste of whatever she was making. If she was making sopes, she’d grab some extra masa (dough) and make a fresh tortilla for me that she’d add crumbly queso fresco to then roll it up for me to eat. Those really simple queso taquitos inspired these flautas. Although this is meant to be an appetizer, my Husband and I actually had these for lunch and we paired them with the arroz Mexicano and Avocado salsa from the book! If you are vegetarian, these flautas are perfect for you! This is one of about 50 vegetarian friendly recipes in the book!
To celebrate Mexico’s Independence Day and the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, signed copies of the book are on sale! That’s all I have for you today, I have one more recipe from the book I’ll be sharing before returning back to sharing new recipes again! Stay safe, y nos vemos pronto!
