Depending on what oil you fry in, the fried version could actually be
the more healthful choice, and the baking *isn't* "a fine substitute."

Baking is *never* "a fine substitute" for frying. It is at best,
adequate, and most often a poor substitute. I've never made taquitos
but for for flautas you can stick the flour tortillas together with
beaten egg, just like with ravioli or wontons. I imagine that wouldn't
work with corn tortillas, hence the toothpicks.

Maybe I'll try that tonight, as we have 2 perfectly ripe avocados.
