This take on the classic Mexican dish (whose name is a reference to its flute-like shape) features flour tortillas stuffed with a creamy white bean and smoky poblano filling, then tightly rolled and lightly pan fried on all sides for satisfying crunch. A zesty sour cream dipping sauce and a vibrant slaw of cabbage tossed with lime juice and zest adds bright, punchy flavor to this dish.

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut out and discard the core of the cabbage; thinly slice the leaves. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the lime to get 2 teaspoons. Quarter the lime. Drain and rinse the beans. Grate the cheese on the large side of a box grater. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper; halve lengthwise, then remove the ribs and seeds. Medium dice. Thoroughly wash your hands, knife, and cutting board immediately after handling. In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream and half the tomatillo-poblano sauce; season with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime zest, and the juice of 2 lime wedges. Add the sliced cabbage; toss to coat. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
Meanwhile, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the diced pepper; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the drained beans and spice blend; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined. Add the remaining tomatillo-poblano sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter) and 1/4 cup of water. Cook, stirring frequently and mashing the beans with the back of a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes, or until thickened. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in the grated cheese. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Rinse and wipe out the pan.
Place the tortillas on a work surface. Evenly divide the filling (you may have extra) among the centers of the tortillas; tightly roll up each tortilla around the filling.
In the same pan, heat a thin layer of oil on medium until hot. Carefully add the flautas, seam side down. Cook, without turning, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, turning occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until browned and crispy on all sides. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; immediately season with salt. Let cool at least 2 minutes before serving. Serve the cooked flautas with the slaw. Serve the tomatillo sour cream and remaining lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
