Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a sauce pot, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Saute the onions for 1 minute. Add the jalapenos, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, black beans, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Stir in the chicken stock. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook the beans for 2 hours or until the beans are tender. Remove from the heat and puree until smooth. Season with cumin, salt and pepper.
  2. Preheat the grill.
  3. Season the flank steak with 2 tablespoons olive oil and Southwestern Rub. Place on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from the grill and allow to rest.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted peppers, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, red onion, lemon and lime juices, and 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro together. Mix thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Preheat the fryer.
  6. Using a French knife, julienne the flank steak. Place 2 ounces of the flank steak and 1-ounce of the grated cheese in the center of each tortilla. Tuck the sides in and roll the tortilla up tightly. (The flautas should resemble an over-sized pencil shape.) Fry 3 to 4 flautas at a time for 3 minutes or until the flautas are crispy. Remove from the fryer and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season with Southwestern Rub.
  7. In a small mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, tequila, and remaining cilantro together. Mix thoroughly and season with salt and pepper.
  8. On a serving plate, spoon the black bean puree in the center. Invert a corn and cumin custard in the center, and dab with the cilantro-tequila cream. Pile the flautas against the custard. Garnish with the chives, diced peppers, and Southwestern Rub.
  9. Southwestern Rub:
  10. In a small mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients together. Mix thoroughly. This spice mixture should be stored in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
  11. Yield: 1/2 cup
  12. Corn and Cumin Custard:
  13. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the ramekins with butter. In a sauce pot, combine the cream, garlic head, and corn cobs. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes to infuse the garlic. Remove from the heat and strain. Add the corn to the cream mixture. In a mixing bowl, whisk the yolks and cumin together. Temper the cream into the yolks. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle the custard into 4-ounce ramekins. Place in a water-bath and bake for 1 hour or until the custards set. Remove from the oven and the water-bath. Allow the custards to rest for 5 minutes before inverting and serving.
