Ingredients

For the flautas:

1 lb ground beef
½ onion diced
2 Tbsp taco seasoning
½ cup water
10 flour tortillas fajita sized
olive oil

For the queso:

10 oz can Ro*tel undrained
16 oz pkg Velveeta cheese cut into cubes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
In a skillet, brown the ground beef along with the onion until the beef is fully cooked. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer and let it simmer for about 6-8 minutes, until the liquid evaporates.
Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
Spoon about 3 Tbsp of the beef mixture onto a tortilla. Roll each tortilla up tightly and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Continue assembling flautas one at a time, filling each tortilla. Brush each flauta lightly with olive oil.
Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes. Flip the flautas and bake for five additional minutes. The flautas should be a nice golden brown. While the flautas are baking, prepare the queso dip.
In a saucepan, add the queso ingredients. Heat over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the cheese is melted. Serve the flautas with the queso for dipping. Serves 5.
