SHREDDED BEEF FLAUTAS



Shredded Beef Flautas image

Categories     Beef     Tomato     Fry     Winter     Jalapeño     Tortillas     Gourmet

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

For the filling:
2 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 onions
3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 fresh or pickled jalapeño chili, or to taste seeded and chopped (wear rubber gloves)
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
twelve 7-inch tortillas, warmed (procedure follows)
vegetable oil for frying flautas
3 cups shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
guacamole and sour cream as accompaniments

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.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect steak flautas, start with high-quality ingredients. Look for flank steak that is well-marinated and thinly sliced. You can also use skirt steak or hanger steak if you prefer.
  • When cooking the steak, make sure to sear it over high heat until it is browned on both sides. This will help to lock in the flavor and prevent the steak from drying out.
  • Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help to keep the juices in the steak and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • When assembling the flautas, be sure to wrap the steak tightly in the tortillas. This will help to prevent them from falling apart when they are fried.
  • Fry the flautas in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the flautas with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

Conclusion:

Steak flautas are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your steak flautas are perfect every time.
