Ingredients

    2 Tbsp (30 mL) canola oil

    ½ cup (125 mL) onion, minced

    8 each eggs, whisked

    ½ lb (225 g) whole red lentils, cooked

    ½ cup (125 mL) Roma tomatoes, small dice

    ½ cup (125 mL) corn kernels

    20 each corn tortillas, 6 inch size

    Optional Toppings: guacamole


Directions

  1. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, add oil and onions. Cook until onions are translucent and aromatic.
  2. Add eggs and scramble to a soft curd, then add lentils. Stir and cook for approximately 2 minutes until everything is heated and eggs are firm curd. Turn off the heat and fold in the tomatoes and corn.
  3. In a fryer, bring vegetable oil up to 350°F (180°C). Soften tortillas in a little of the warm fry oil so they do not break apart. Spoon 2 Tbsp (30 mL) of the lentil and egg mixture to one end of the softened tortilla. Tightly roll the tortilla into small cigar shape tubes.
  4. Skewer the rolled tortillas with toothpicks to keep closed and fry in hot oil for 1-2 minutes. Be sure to roll the flautas in the oil to fry all sides evenly.
  5. Allow to drain on a wire rack or paper towel prior to service.
