A 6-count, 15-oz box was $6.99 on sale (it costs $9.99 regularly).
The box includes three crispy sleeves for microwave heating. It included instructions for both the microwave and air fryer so I heated a flauta in each. The left one in the pictures was air-fried, while the right one took a trip in the microwave.
Both methods yielded a nicely crisped exterior but the air fryer flauta was more evenly crispy and browned a little more. There were a few soft, chewy layers underneath the crispy surface that made for an enjoyable contrast.
Surprisingly, it was inside each flauta that the differences became more pronounced. Both contain a smattering of melted cheese and ground beef but the veggies (mostly potato) in the microwaved flauta were mushy, while the veggies of the flauta cooked in the air fryer retained their texture and distinctiveness.
Carne Guisada means "meat stew" in Spanish and it's basically a thick beef stew. There wasn't a heavy spice component or much tomato-y tang, which left it tasting mostly like overly salted beef, potatoes, and cheese.
Overall, Kroger's Carne Guisada Flautas were just okay for me. I really like the crispy flour tortilla, and the meat and cheese were good but the saltiness was a little overwhelming and the seasonings felt lacking as a result.
