When onion is wilted, add meat and cook until mixture turns white.
Add salt, cumin, garlic, and hot sauce; cook about 5 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
Put 2 or more tablespoons meat mixture on one edge of tortilla; add 2 to 3 tablespoons shredded cheese.
Roll carefully; fasten edges with a toothpick.
Place flaquitos in a wire basket; plunge into hot shortening and cook until crips.
