I watched a video about the topic. 
Flautas actually have an interesting history! They originate from Mexico and the term 'flauta' means flute in Spanish, referring to the rolled shape resembling a flute. It's believed they evolved from tacos dorados, which are deep-fried tacos. The video I saw explained how they're typically filled with chicken or beef, rolled up, then fried until crispy.
