A taquito (Spanish pronunciation:[taˈkito], Spanish for "small taco"),[1]taco dorado,[2]rolled taco,[3] or flauta (Spanish pronunciation:[ˈflawta], Spanish for "flute") is a Mexican dish that typically consists of a small rolled-up tortilla that contains filling,[4] including beef, cheese or chicken.[5] The filled tortilla is then shallow-fried or deep-fried.[6] The dish is often topped with condiments such as sour cream and guacamole.[5] Corn tortillas are generally used to make taquitos. The dish is more commonly known as flautas when they are larger than their taquito counterparts, and can be made with either flour or corn tortillas.[7]
