Beef, Chorizo, and Chile Flautas

Instructions

1. Step 1

   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.

2. Step 2

   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.

3. Step 3

   Combine ground chuck and chorizo in a bowl, kneading together as evenly as possible.

4. Step 4

   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.

5. Step 5

   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.

6. Step 6

   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.

7. Step 7

   Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.

8. Step 8

   Fry in the preheated air fryer for 6 minutes. Serve immediately.
