Chimichurri Steak Flautas


I’ve made these a few times and discovered they freeze well. 
Microwave 5 min at 50% then finish in the toaster over so they crisp up.Serve with sour cream to dip into, and/or guacamole.

Make chimichurri in food processor. I used:
6 garlic cloves
1 bunch of parsley (top chopped off)
1 bunch of cilantro (top chopped off)
1 shallot rough chopped
1/2 cup vinegar (half cider and half red wine vinegar)
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt & Pepper
Dash of red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning
You only need 1/4 cup for this. I like that it’s
versatile for other recipes. I may also freeze leftovers in a couple packets.

6 flour tortillas (small)
1 plum tomato, chopped. Put in a cup, s&p and add Tb water
Shredded cheese (Mexican blend or Mozzarella)
1 shallot, sliced
Flank steak or any good sliced steak you’d use for fajitas.

Put a splash of oil in skillet over high and cook the shallot and steak.
When the pink is gone, add tomato and cook until it thickens, a couple minutes.
Add chimichurri and heat up, remove from heat to a plate or bowl.
Rinse skillet and dry, add more oil.

Assemble flautas: cheese, steak, roll and place seam side down in the skillet.
On high (but watch so they get crispy but not burnt) cook 2 min and roll to fry all around.
Delicious!
Once cooled off a bit you should be able to eat them from hand. Keep napkins handy!
