Preparation
1
Prep

  • Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush with oil. Wash and dry produce.

  • Trim zucchini and grate on the largest holes of a box grater. Place in the center of a clean kitchen towel. Gather into a tight bundle and squeeze over the sink to remove as much liquid as possible.

  • Drain corn, then pat dry with paper towels. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.

2
Cook Filling

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and softened, 3-4 minutes. Add corn and scallion whites; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and lightly charred in spots, 2-4 minutes. TIP: Cover pan if corn starts to pop.

  • Add Southwest Spice Blend and half the enchilada sauce; cook, stirring often, until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat; stir in Monterey Jack until melted. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

  •  

     

3
Assemble Flautas

  • Meanwhile, drizzle tortillas with 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4 servings); brush or rub to completely coat on both sides.

  • Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Once corn and zucchini filling is done, add a heaping ¼ cup filling to one side of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas, starting with filled sides, to create flautas.

  • Place flautas, seam sides down, on prepared sheet. TIP: Arrange your flautas snug on the sheet to keep them from unrolling.

4
Bake Flautas

  • Bake flautas on top rack until golden brown and crispy, 8-12 minutes.

5
Warm Sauces

  • Place remaining enchilada sauce in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until warmed through, 45-60 seconds.

  • In a second small microwave-safe bowl, combine queso blanco with 1 TBSP water (2 TBSP for 4 servings); microwave until warmed through, 25 seconds.

6
Serve

  • Divide flautas between plates. Drizzle with queso blanco and as much remaining enchilada sauce as you like. Sprinkle with scallion greens and serve.
