Instant Pot Shredded Beef Flautas

Shredded beef flautas are easier to make when you can use the Instant Pot. It only takes about 45 minutes to cook the beef in the Instant Pot. Then you just roll up that beef in small flour tortillas. Next, you fry those babies in some oil and you have delicious shredded beef flautas.
This meat is full of flavor. Chili powder, sea salt, onion, tomato paste, garlic, cumin, oregano, salsa, and beef broth all help to give the beef it’s fabulous flavor.
Once this meat is cooked and shredded, it gets wrapped in soft flour tortillas. After that, you deep fry these rolled up flautas. It makes them brown and crispy on the outside, but chewy on the inside.
I like to top these with a little shredded lettuce. Next, I add a spoonful of salsa and sour cream. A side of Mexican rice is a nice accompaniment to serve along with the flautas.
