Last Updated on 12/19/2019

This delightful latin-inspired dish makes a wonderfully healthy and incredibly flavorful meal! It is gluten-free, vegan, and is super quick & easy to make!

As you can see in a previous post of mine here, I am quite a fan of the Better Bean Company line of products.

All of their products are gluten free, vegan, non-GMO, and are packed in BPA-free packaging that is both recyclable & freezable. Pretty impressive, right? They truly are better beans…

I recently gave their Uncanny Refried Black Beans a try, and boy were they tasty!

I knew immediately that I wanted to create something that allowed their already amazing flavor to shine through. Hence, these beautiful flautas. . .

I started by whipping up a batch of my red chile sauce, for which you can find the recipe :: here ::. The only modification I made was using Ancho chiles in place of the New Mexican chiles. You can use any dried red chile you would like, the technique & recipe will work all the same! And, if you find yourself pinched for time, you can always purchase pre-made sauce if you prefer. Either way, red chile is always delicious, yeah?

And, check out those yummy beans. . .

These amazing flautas make such a filling & satisfying meal.

Thanks to Better Beans, they are chock full nutrients and delightfully big on flavor, too!

I can’t recommend highly enough that you give both Better Beans & this recipe a try! Your taste buds will be thanking you — I promise!!
