Ground Beef Flautas Recipes

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Brown brisket on all sides. Add onions, peppers, water and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until meat is tender., Remove meat; cool slightly. Shred meat with 2 forks. Drain onion mixture; add to meat. Spoon 1/4 cup beef mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up and secure with toothpicks. In a cast-iron or electric skillet, heat oil to 375°. Fry flautas, in batches, for 1 minute on each side or until golden brown., Drain on paper towels. Remove toothpicks. If desired, serve with toppings.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add beef and saute, working in batches if needed, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, water, onion, jalapenos, 1/2 cup cilantro, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer and cook until meat is tender, about 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
• Remove beef from the pot, shred with 2 forks, and toss with remaining cilantro, lime juice, and more salt and pepper.
• Take each tortilla and place 2 tablespoons of the shredded beef and some Monterey Jack cheese into it. Roll tightly and place on the prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until flautas are golden and crisp, about 15 minutes, turning once halfway through. Remove from the oven and cut in half before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a pan.
• Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 50 seconds.
• Take one tortilla, put in it 1 tablespoon of the stew ground beef, roll the tortilla over the beef, to make it look like a flute.
• Put the tortilla flute in the pan, allow it to fry in all sides.
• Repeat the steps 1-5 for all the tortillas.
• When ready, put the tortilla flutes in a plate, serve on top of them the lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, spread the cream and cheese, and the salsa.
• Use some fried beans as a side dish.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers, cut-sides down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast peppers in the preheated oven until the skins are brown and crispy, about 15 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins. Dice flesh and set aside.
• Combine ground chuck and chorizo in a bowl, kneading together as evenly as possible.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pot over medium heat. Add meat and cook and stir until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Strain out 90% of the grease.
• Stir beer, salsa, chile powder, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, salt, marjoram, black pepper, and cayenne into the meat. Stir in 1/2 of the diced chile peppers. Crank up the heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until most of the liquid has disappeared, about 2 hours; don't let all the liquid evaporate or you'll have dry meat.
• Brush one side of a tortilla with some of the remaining canola oil. On the dry side, about 1/2 inch from one side of the tortilla, spoon a line of beef and chorizo, sprinkle with Colby-Jack cheese, and top with some diced chile peppers. Roll the loaded side over multiple times until the tortilla is in a tight roll. Make sure it is tight by tucking the first rotation up under the meat. Set rolled tortilla seam-side down on the wire rack of an air fryer. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Fry in the preheated air fryer for 6 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place ground beef, onion, and garlic in a large skillet that has been sprayed with cooking spray and brown over medium-high heat.
• Using a spatula crumble beef into small pieces as it cooks.
• Add the chili powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and chile sauce to the pan and mix well.
• Wrap 6 of the corn tortillas at a time in a damp kitchen towel and warm briefly in the microwave- just enough to soften.
• For each flauta, spray both sides of 2 tortillas with cooking spray.
• Lay the tortillas down so they overlap by 4 inches.
• Spoon 1/4 cup or so of filling down the side of the paired tortillas and roll up tightly, the beef mixture should be in the center.
• Place on a heavy cookie sheet.
• Repeat with the others.
• Bake flautas, at 400 degrees until the tortillas are crisp, about 15 minutes.
• Serve with salsa, sour cream and guacamole.

Steps:

• Make the filling:
• In a large saucepan combine the beef, 1 of the onions, sliced, 1 of the garlic cloves, the salt, and water to cover, bring the water to a boil, and simmer the mixture, covered partially, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender. Let the beef cool in the broth, drain it, reserving 1/3 cup of the broth, and with forks shred it. In a large skillet cook the remaining onion, minced, and the remaining 2 garlic cloves, minced, in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, add the shredded beef, the tomato sauce, the chili, the cumin, the reserved broth, and salt and pepper to taste, and simmer the mixture, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it is thickened. Let the filling cool.
• Working with 1 warmed tortilla at a time and keeping the others covered, spread about 2 rounded tablespoons of the filling down the center of each tortilla, roll up the tortillas, enclosing the filling, and secure the ends closed with wooden picks. Keep the rolled tortillas covered with plastic wrap. The flautas may be prepared up to this point 2 hours in advance and kept covered tightly with plastic wrap and chilled.
• In a large skillet heat 1/2 inch of the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, in it fry the flautas in batches, turning them, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they are crisp, and transfer them with tongs as they are fried to paper towels to drain. Spread the lettuce on a platter or divide it among 6 plates, arrange the flautas on it, and top them with the guacamole and the sour cream.
• To warm tortillas:
• In the oven: Stack 6 tortillas at a time wrap each stack in foil, and heat the tortillas in the middle of a preheated 325°F. oven for 5 minutes for corn tortillas and 15 minutes for flour tortillas. (If the tortillas are very dry to begin with, pat each tortilla between dampened hands before stacking them.)
• In the microwave: Stack 6 tortillas at a time, wrap each stack in a microwave-safe plastic bag, and heat the tortillas in a microwave oven at high power (100%) for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until they are heated through and pliable.
