Lots of flautas around here. They are long and rolled--like a flute, then fried.

tamales are not nasty! they are yum. They are made from a similar dough as corn tortillas, though; the dough is filled, rolled in corn husks, then steamed. Very labor intensive--traditionally made assembly line style by the women for Christmas.

not common knowledge for you folks?
