Seeking some wisdom: how do you stop flautas from falling apart? I've been trying my hand at making them, but mine always seem to unravel in the frying pan. Any secret techniques or tricks to keep them intact? Your insights would be much appreciated!

When making flautas, try lightly frying the tortillas first to make them more pliable before rolling your fillings. It helps in keeping them from cracking or falling apart during frying. Also, secure them with toothpicks to hold their shape until they crisp up. This method has worked well for me in preventing them from unraveling.

To stop flautas from falling apart, make sure to tightly roll them, use a bit of filling without overstuffing, and secure them with toothpicks if needed; also, frying them at the right temperature (medium heat) helps maintain their shape.
