Ingredients:
- 1 zucchini
- 2 ears of corn
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 4 oz Mexican-blend shredded cheese
- 4 oz black beans
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 1 red onion
- 10 flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp. of vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp. of Southwest Spice Blend
Method:
Firstly, preheat the oven to 450°F. Cut the ends of the zucchini and slice it into quarters lengthwise, then cut into small pieces. Remove the husks and silks from the corn and use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob. Peel and thinly slice half the onion. Reserve the other half for another recipe.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini and corn kernels and cook for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Add salt and pepper to taste. Move the vegetables to a bowl and add the black beans and Southwest Spice Blend. Gently stir the mixture to combine.
Next, lay the tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Divide the vegetable filling among the tortillas, spreading it out in a line down the center. Top each with a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Carefully roll the tortillas tightly around the filling to create flautas.
Place the flautas on a baking sheet and brush with a bit of oil. Bake the flautas for 12-15 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. While the flautas bake, drain and rinse the black beans, dice the tomatoes and finely chop the remaining onion.
In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream and half of the diced tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the flautas with the sour cream sauce, remaining diced tomatoes and chopped onion.
Conclusion:
Southwest Corn And Zucchini Flautas are a fantastic vegetarian option for traditional meat-based flautas. The crispy tortillas with warm and spicy vegetables and the cheesy goodness make this dish a winner. The sour cream sauce and diced tomatoes give an extra edge to the dish.
