Flautas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb ground beef
    2 teaspoons minced garlic cloves
    1 (8 ounce) can green chilies
    1 (4 ounce) can tomato sauce
    1/2 teaspoon cumin (more or less to taste)
    salt and pepper
    12 flour tortillas
    1 1/2 cups pre-shredded mozzarella cheese
    1/2 cup vegetable oil (to fry in)
Preparation
    Brown the beef with the garlic, until the beef crumbles. Drain the grease.
    Add the green chilies and tomato sauce and let simmer while stirring. Beef will absorb most of the sauce.
    Spoon some of the mixture into a flour tortilla, add a little cheese on top.
    Roll the tortilla and use a toothpic to keep it closed.
    Fry for about a minute both sides, enough to melt the cheese and brown the tortilla.
    Let cool, and serve with guacamole, sour cream, or salsa.
