What Flauta means
Flauta is a Mexican antojito name of Spanish origin meaning "flute". It comes from Spanish flauta (flute). It is pronounced FLAH-oo-tah, and it is most associated with central Mexico.
Named for the long thin tube a rolled tortilla makes. The shorter corn-tortilla version is a taquito or taco dorado.
This is a site about what Mexican words mean, so there is no recipe here. For the name itself: Antojito means "little craving". These are the masa-based street foods named for their shape more often than their filling: a sope is a small mound, a huarache is a sandal, a gordita is a fat little one, a tlacoyo is an oval patty.
