American Sandwich Recipes: Cheese Flautas Recipe

In a pan a littler larger than a corn tortilla, melt enough shortening or lard to fill it 1/4 inch deep.
With tongs dip a corn tortilla in the hot shortening or lard for a few seconds, just long enough sothat it is soft and pliable.
Remove and lay on a plate.
Sprinkle grated Longhorn or Monterey Jack cheese down the center of the tortilla.
Place 1 tablespoon tomato puree in the center of the cheese.
Lay a strip of green chile about 1/2 inch wide on top of the cheese.
Roll the tortilla up into a cigar-shape without pinching ends together.
Fry until brown on both sides.
These are delicious served with guacamole and sour cream on the side.
