    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/13/2016   I thought flautas were made with flour tortillas and taquitos were made with corn tortillas.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/29/2011   I made this for a dinner party that I gave for my new group of women friends (I've recently relocated) and they said it was fabulous and ate every bite so I don't think they were just trying to make me feel better. I served it with roasted onions and squash laced with chili powder and a green salad with cilantro lime dressing. Oh, and Mexican chocolate cake.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/11/2011   I used pine nuts instead of pepitas. My grocery store didn't carry pepitas. My husband I liked these and I would make them again.
