BEEF, CHORIZO, AND CHILE FLAUTAS
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.

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.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to make quick work of grinding the beef. If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a meat grinder or chop the beef very finely with a knife.
- Be sure to season the beef well. The seasonings in the recipe are just a suggestion; you can adjust them to your own taste.
- Don't overstuff the flautas. If you do, they will be difficult to roll up and they may burst open during baking.
- Be careful when frying the flautas. Hot oil can splatter, so be sure to wear long sleeves and gloves.
- Serve the flautas with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and shredded lettuce.
Conclusion:
Baked ground beef flautas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover ground beef. With a little planning, you can have this meal on the table in less than an hour. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give baked ground beef flautas a try.
