| 1. In a nonstick frying, pan cook meat until no pink remains. | 2. Drain excess fat and add pepper, onion, and garlic cook until veggies are tender. | 3. Stir in oregano, cumin, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. | 4. Cover and cook over low heat for 3 minutes stirring occasionally. | 5. Remove from heat and set aside. | 6. Heat a nonstick pan at a medium-low heat. | 7. For each flauta: warm a tortilla on each side in the pan (until it bends readily, not to brown it). | 8. Spread 2 tablespoons of the meat filling across the center of the tortilla (all the way to the edges). | 9. Roll up so that the filling is in the middle and secure with a wooden toothpick. | 10. In a medium to large saucepan, heat 2 to 3 inches of oil to med-high heat. | 11. Fry 3 or 4 flautas at a time (don't overcrowd) about 3 minutes or until crisp and golden. | 12. Turn as required to brown them evenly all over. | 13. Use tongs to lift the flautas from oil and tip to allow excess fat to drain out of each end. | 14. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in a 300F oven while frying remaining flautas. | 15. Remove toothpicks and serve with salsa and sour cream. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
