In a large pot, melt the butter on medium heat for around 30 seconds.
Add the onions and garlic, sautéing until slightly caramelized and fragrant, 2 – 3 minutes.
Next, add the refried beans, ALL of the spices, and lime juice.
Cook for 5 minutes to allow all of the flavours to combine.
Transfer to a large bowl and cool slightly.
To assemble the flautas, warm up the corn tortillas in a pan over low heat or in the microwave until soft and pliable.
Scoop approximately 3 tbsp of the refried beans to the middle or each tortilla.
Sprinkle some of the crumbled queso fresco on top of the refried beans and roll.
Lightly grease a large pan with avocado oil and place over medium-high heat.
Place the assembled flautas in, seam side down, and cook for 2 – 3 minutes on each side until golden and slightly crispy.
Set the finished flautas on a serving dish, and repeat these steps until all are completed.
Top the flautas with salsa Verde, Mexican crema, more crumbled queso fresco, and fresh cilantro.
Enjoy immediately- serving with lime wedges!

Notes
Notes Swap the queso fresco and Mexican crema with your favorite dairy options! Serve any extra toppings you wish, like avocado, Pico de Gallo, etc! Take this dish with you to potlucks, dinner parties, or even summer barbeques- they will be a HUGE HIT! Store the ungarnished flautas in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 – 4 days! You can garnish them upon enjoying them again OR store all of the elements separately and make them fresh each time!
