These flautas de papa, so melty-delicioso, are perfect for when you want to make something quick after a long day. They only need three ingredients \u2014 corn tortillas<\/a>, potatoes and oil \u2014 and are endlessly versatile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, a flauta, which means flute because it looks like one, is super f\u00e1cil to make, says Vivi Abeja, a Chicago-area cook and Mexican food blogger (find her at vivis_table<\/a>). \u201cThis is the perfect meal for when you want something quick and easy. I usually always have tortillas and potatoes in my home, so I don\u2019t need to go to the grocery store to prepare it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes these flautas extra special for Vivi is that her grandmother<\/a> taught her how to make them. Her abuela\u2019s specialty was delicious Mexican dishes that can be made with just a few ingredients, a style she called comida de pobre or poor-people food. Her abuela was the family-famous expert at making simple yet tasty dishes for their large family, and Vivi remembers all of her dishes with mucho cari\u00f1o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI truly love meals that require the simplest ingredients,\u201d Vivi said. \u201cIt reminds me to stay grounded and appreciate the beauty in the simplest things. Expensive ingredients don\u2019t make a great meal. It\u2019s the effort put behind preparing every ingredient.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vivi typically adds her own spin to her grandmother\u2019s traditional Mexican recipes, so of course she tweaked these flautas de papa. Though her abuela stuck to just salt and pepper to season the potato filling, Vivi likes to add \u201ca ton\u201d of seasonings: In this case, onion and garlic powder and ground cumin. \u201cGo crazy with the toppings,\u201d says Vivi. \u201cYou can really load it up!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For garnish, Vivi recommends topping these flautas de papa with crumbled queso fresco, green or red salsa (find Vivi\u2019s red salsa molcajete recipe here<\/a>), sliced avocado and Mexican crema. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
