Cooked on a greased baking sheet in a 475-degree oven, our tacos bake up golden and crispy -- with all the flavor of L.A., but none of the hassle of deep-frying.

Flautas, also called tacos dorados, or golden tacos, are deep-fried flute-shaped tacos. They’re filled with lamb, chicken, chorizo or potato and then topped with salsa roja, guacamole and cotija ...

Divide the potato filling evenly among the tortillas (about a scant ¼ cup each) and spread it to cover half of each tortilla, then sprinkle with the cheese, dividing it evenly.

Cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until the tacos are browned and crisped, then use tongs to turn them over and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until evenly browned. Remove all toothpicks; serve warm.
