Oven Fried Flautas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb extra lean ground beef
    1 medium onion
    1 teaspoon minced garlic
    1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
    1 teaspoon dry oregano
    1/2 teaspoon paprika
    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
    1/2 cup mild chili sauce or 1/2 cup canned tomato sauce
    12 corn tortillas
    cooking spray
Preparation
    Heat oven to 400 degrees.
    Place ground beef, onion, and garlic in a large skillet that has been sprayed with cooking spray and brown over medium-high heat.
    Using a spatula crumble beef into small pieces as it cooks.
    Add the chili powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and chile sauce to the pan and mix well.
    Wrap 6 of the corn tortillas at a time in a damp kitchen towel and warm briefly in the microwave- just enough to soften.
    For each flauta, spray both sides of 2 tortillas with cooking spray.
    Lay the tortillas down so they overlap by 4 inches.
    Spoon 1/4 cup or so of filling down the side of the paired tortillas and roll up tightly, the beef mixture should be in the center.
    Place on a heavy cookie sheet.
    Repeat with the others.
    Bake flautas, at 400 degrees until the tortillas are crisp, about 15 minutes.
    Serve with salsa, sour cream and guacamole.
