Kitchen View

Step 1

Shredded Beef: In medium bowl, season beef with Adobo seasoning. In high-sided medium Dutch oven or skillet set over medium heat, add olive oil. Add seasoned beef to Dutch oven and sear, turning cubes once, for 4 to 6 minutes or until starting to brown; transfer to plate.

Step 2

Reduce Dutch oven to medium heat. Add onion, garlic and cumin and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until onion is starting to soften. Stir in 1 cup water, tomato sauce, chipotle peppers and adobo sauce; bring to a boil.

Step 3

Return beef and drippings to Dutch oven. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until beef is very tender. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beef to cutting board. Use two forks to shred meat; transfer beef and juices back to sauce; set aside.

Step 4

Creamy Avocado-Cilantro Sauce: Meanwhile, in blender, add avocado, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, garlic and adobo seasoning; purée until blended and smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 5

Flautas: Preheat oven to 275°F. In high-sided medium skillet set over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil and heat until hot but not smoking. Fry tortillas, one at a time, submerging in oil for 5 seconds or until soft and pliable but not crisp; drain on paper towel–lined baking sheet (do not discard oil).

Step 6

Assembly: Spoon 2 tbsp. beef filling into center of each tortilla; roll tightly to enclose filling like a cigar. Secure seam-side with 2 toothpicks. Repeat with remaining tortillas, beef filling and toothpicks.

Step 7

Reheat the oil-filled high-sided medium skillet over medium heat. In batches to avoid crowding, fry flautas seam-side down in oil, cooking, turning once, for 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy all over. Transfer to parchment paper–lined baking sheet and keep warm in preheated oven until all are cooked. Remove toothpicks.

Step 8

Divide shredded lettuce among 4 to 6 plates. Top with flautas and garnish with Pico de Gallo Salsa, avocado sauce, queso fresco and cilantro. Note: Substitute beef brisket or chuck roast for the beef blade roast.
