Crispy Pulled Pork Flautas image

The first time I ever tried a flauta was at a Hispanic street fair in Portland. They reminded me of a taquito, but much bigger and with a flour tortilla shell. I made my flautas with leftover pulled pork (see my recipe for Coca-Cola Pulled Pork: https://www.moveablefeast.recipes/2020/05/slow-cooker-coca-cola-pulled-pork.html )...
