Shredded Beef Flautas Recipe image

Provided by á-178060

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.

I'm a huge fan of flautas, and these shredded beef flautas were no exception. They were delicious and easy to make. I will definitely be making these again.

These flautas were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either. I probably won't make them again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my flautas turned out really greasy. I think I might have used too much oil.

These flautas were a complete disaster. The beef was tough and the flautas were soggy. I will not be making these again.

I had a hard time getting the flautas to roll up without breaking. I think I might have overcooked the beef a bit.

These shredded beef flautas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think next time I'll use a milder salsa.

These flautas are a great way to change up my Taco Tuesday routine. They're just as easy to make as tacos, but they're so much more fun to eat.

I love that these flautas are so versatile. I can serve them with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or even just a dollop of plain yogurt.

These flautas are a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables. I just sneak some chopped veggies into the beef filling and they gobble them up.

I've made these flautas several times and they're always a hit. I love that I can make them ahead of time and then just bake them when I'm ready to eat.

These flautas are a great way to use up leftover beef. I always have some leftover steak or roast beef in my fridge, and these flautas are the perfect way to use it up.
