Repeat the process until all flautas have been rolled. *Note: Use a wooden toothpick to secure the seam if necessary. Make sure to remove these before serving*
  4. Once the flautas are rolled (Or ready), place them side by side in your air fryer basket.
  5. Brush the tops of the flautas lightly with the avocado oil.
  6. Air fry for 6-8 minutes at 370 degrees, turning halfway through. Enjoy!
