BONNIE'S MEXICAN STEAK FLAUTAS

Steps:

• 1. Cut the steak at an angle into thin strips and fry fast in 1 tablespoon of hot oil.
• 2. In a mixing bowl, combine chili powder, salt, oregano, garlic powder and red wine vinegar, and add the meat and toss.
• 3. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a 2 quart sauce pan, and fry the corn tortillas until limp but not browned, about 5 seconds. Drain tortillas on paper towels
• 4. Place meat in the tortillas. Roll into a flute shape, and let about 1/2 inch hang out at ends of tortillas. Fry the flautas in hot oil until crisp and light brown. Serve immediately with Avocado Sauce.
• 5. AVOCADO SAUCE: Mash 2 avocados, and stir in 2 teaspoons of lemon juice (use fresh lemons) add the salt and the sour cream, blend well. Top with 1 teaspoon grated lemon.

BONNIE'S BEEFY STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• 1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Do your prep work first and then it goes together really fast. I use a divided dish for the vegetables and cheese and then assemble the tacos after the tortillas are fried.
• 2. PREPARE INGREDIENTS: Wash the romaine lettuce. I cut it as fine as possible with a sharp knife, looks like it is shredded. Dice the onion fine. Dice tomatoes. Chop the cilantro fine, and mix with the tomatoes. Put the vegies and the cheese in the divided dish and set it in the refrigerator.
• 3. Grate the cheese. Dice the cooked steak into small pieces.
• 4. COOKING THE MEAT: You will need a large pan for the taco meat and steak and a medium pan to fry the tortillas. Place the ground beef in the pan over medium heat. When it starts to brown, I use a metal potato masher to make it all the same size. When the meat is lightly browned, add the taco seasoning mix, cumin, garlic, worcestershire sauce, A-1 sauce, and stir. Then add the salt and pepper and pepper flakes if you want it. Add one cup of water, stir, and let it simmer uncovered until the liquid is reduced. When it is reduced, add the steak. Adding it later keeps it from becoming tough. Keep it hot while you fry the tortillas. You can add a couple of spoons of water to keep it moist. Don't let it dry out (it is now ready to eat) . By the time the meat has reduced, you should have the taco shells fried.
• 5. FRYING THE TACO SHELLS: Fry the tortillas in hot oil, folding to make a shell until golden brown and then drain on paper towels. I cook the shells according to my family's preference. Some like them soft, others like them crispy. The boxed shells just don't taste the same to us.
• 6. When the shells are fried, assemble the tacos with the meat first, onion, tomato/cilantro mixture, lettuce and cheese, and taco sauce if desired. We like ours piled high with the vegies. Serve with guacamole and sour cream and a side of refried beans. Enjoy!

• Broil steaks (I broil the thin cuts 3-4 minutes) on one side.
• Remove from oven and place mixture of tomato, onion and garlic evenly on unbroiled side of steaks.
