  2. 2Warm the tortillas

    Heat the flour tortillas on a dry pan or in the microwave until pliable.

    This makes them easier to roll without cracking.

  3. 3Fill and roll

    Place a portion of the crab rangoon filling on each tortilla and roll tightly into a flauta shape.

    Secure with a toothpick if needed to prevent unrolling during frying.
