Beef, Chorizo, and Chile Flautas image

Seasoned beef, Anaheim chiles, and cheese rolled up in a crispy tortilla. Killer game day food. Traditionally pan-fried, which is very simple to do as well, but they just came out too perfect in the old air fryer.

Time 3h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

7 peppers Anaheim chile peppers
2 pounds ground chuck
⅓ pound bulk chorizo sausage
¼ cup canola oil, or as needed
2 ½ (12 fluid ounce) cans or bottles light beer
¾ cup salsa
2 tablespoons ground ancho chile powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
24 (8 inch) flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese

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.
