Step 1
Warm the 8 corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until soft and pliable, about 30 seconds per side. Keep them covered with a towel.
Step 2
Place 1/4 cup of the shredded beef along the center of each tortilla, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick if needed.
Step 3
Heat the 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry the flautas in batches, seam-side down, until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Step 4
Serve the flautas topped with the 2 cups shredded cabbage, a drizzle of the 1/2 cup crema, and the 1/2 cup salsa. Add lime wedges and cilantro if you have them.
