Sweet Baked Flautas

This recipe came about serendipitously.  I wanted to make the chicken flautas recipe again.  I asked Ben to make the cheese that goes into the flautas.  Well, I accidentally said creme fraiche instead of queso fresco.  I was a little confused by the end product until I realized my erred request.  I guess I need to be a little more multilingual.

I have never had creme fraiche and usually steered away from recipes that listed this ingredient.  It seemed too fancy for my blood.  I did remember that it was usually pared with berries.  So we changed directions with the freshly prepared cheese and tried two new recipes.  Sweet Baked Flautas and a recipe called Strawberry Fool.  I'll do a post on the Strawberry Fool later this week.

The Sweet Baked Flautas would be a perfect addition to any breakfast gathering.  They were so simple and fun to make.  It was also an excuse to use our delicious raspberry preserves.  The recipe could be tried with cream cheese instead of the creme fraiche as well.  Make as many as desired.  I only had one tortilla on hand.  So we ended up with two flautas.  I give the recipe 3.5 cookies.
