Cheese Flautas

Ingredients:
Corn tortillas, Shortening or lard (for frying), Grated Longhorn or Monterey Jack cheese, Tomato puree, Green chile strips

Directions:
In a pan a little larger than a corn tortilla, melt enough shortening or lard to fill it 1/4 inch deep. With tongs dip a corn tortilla in the hot shortening or lard for a few seconds, just long enough so that it is soft and pliable. Remove and lay upon a plate. Sprinkle grated cheese down the center of the tortilla. Place 1 tablespoon tomato puree in the centre of the cheese. Lay a strip of green chile about 1/2 inch wide on top of the cheese. Roll the tortilla up into a cigar-shape without pinching ends together. Fry until brown on both sides. These are tasty served with guacamole and sour cream on the side
