FOR THE FLAUTAS
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion , thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves , minced
  • 1 package Tony Roma’s Tender & Juicy Pulled Pork- Kansas City Sweet Hickory
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons (or to taste) ground cumin
  • 8 low carb , whole wheat flour tortillas (I use Trader Joe's)
FOR THE AVOCADO CREMA
  • 1 avocado , pitted, skin removed
  • 1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
  • juice of 1 small lime
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
OPTIONAL:

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Lightly grease a 13x9 baking dish and set aside.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil.
  • Add onions and cook for 4 minutes, or until softened.
  • Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
  • Add shredded pork and season with cumin; continue to cook for 8 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds so that they're easier to roll.
  • Add pork mixture to each tortilla and roll it up tightly.
  • Transfer prepared tortillas to the previously prepared baking dish, seam-side down.
  • Lightly spray the tops of the rolled up tortillas with baking spray.
  • Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until tops are lightly browned.
  • In the meantime, prepare the Avocado Crema.
  • Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor; process until smooth, stopping and scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
  • Transfer the crema to a small bowl and set aside.
  • Layer the shredded romaine lettuce on a large platter.
  • Arrange the prepared flautas over the lettuce.
  • Top flautas with chopped tomatoes and serve with a side of the prepared Avocado Crema.
