Description
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.
Ingredients
- 7 peppers Anaheim chile peppers
- 2 pounds ground chuck
- ⅓ pound bulk chorizo sausage
- ¼ cup canola oil, or as needed
- 2 ½ (12 fluid ounce) cans or bottles light beer
- ¾ cup salsa
- 2 tablespoons ground ancho chile powder
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 24 (8 inch) flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese
Instructions
- 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.
