STEAK FLAUTAS

Steps:

• Season steak with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Set aside and allow to marinate for about 30 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion and bell pepper in the hot oil until they are soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a plate.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Heat another tablespoon of oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Saute the steak until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Place 6 tortillas on the prepared baking sheet and add a handful of Monterey Jack cheese to each.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and add veggies and meat to each tortilla. Roll up and turn seam side-down. Brush with remaining vegetable oil. Return to the oven and bake until tortillas crisp up, 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

CHICKEN FLAUTAS WITH AVOCADO CREAM

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with enough oil to reach 2 inches up the side of the pan. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reads 375 degrees F. To make the flautas: In a pan over medium heat melt butter and saute onions and jalapenos until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, and cayenne pepper and cook until fragrant, another 2 minutes. Add chicken and salsa; stir to combine. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro, cheese and lime juice. Let cool slightly.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
• Working with 4 tortillas at a time, spread a heaping spoonful along the middle of each tortilla. Roll tortilla tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick. Using tongs, hold each flauta in hot oil until firm, then release to continue cooking. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes, then remove to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately season with salt. Keep flautas warm in the oven on a sheet tray while assembling and cooking the remaining tortillas.
• To make the Avocado Cream: In a serving bowl, mash avocado, sour cream and lime juice until smooth. Season with salt, to taste.
• To serve, arrange flautas on a platter of shredded lettuce and serve with Avocado Cream on the side.
