Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray foil with cooking spray.
Prepare the Ingredients
Using a handheld grater, shred the cheddar cheese into a bowl or on a plate. Set aside. (You may substitute Colby or Colby Jack for the Cheddar if desired.)
Mince the sweet onion and garlic.
Make the Filling
In a large skillet, brown the lean ground beef or ground venison.
Add minced onion and garlic, hot sauce, soy sauce, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and ground cumin. Stir in black beans. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
If desired, warm flour tortillas in the microwave to make them more pliable.
Spoon 1/2 cup of filling on one edge of flour tortilla. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheddar cheese. Roll tightly and lay seam-side down on prepared baking sheet. Repeat until mixture is gone.
Brush tops and sides with olive oil. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Turn and bake for an additional 5-6 minutes until nicely browned. Allow to cool for 5-7 minutes before serving.
Serve with cheese dip, salsa, and sour cream. Makes 10 flautas.
