Deep Fried Beef Chimichangas With Guacamole Food

DEEP FRIED BEEF CHIMICHANGAS WITH GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• For the guacamole (to be prepared several hours ahead):Slice each avocado in half lengthwise, pop out the seed and slip off the skin. Smash the avocado in a bowl and add the onion, chiles, cilantro, lime juice, tomatoes, and garlic and mix well. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and let sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to allow the flavors to combine.
• Lay out the tortillas and sprinkle about 1/8 cup cheese on each of them. Begin heating the vegetable oil to 180°C in a deep-fryer.
• In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and saute the onion until translucent. To this pan, add the ground beef, tomato passata, chili powder, cumin, celery salt, and salt and pepper, and cook until browned.
• Divide the meat mixture into equal amounts in the pan.
• Then using a slotted spoon to leave the excess liquid behind, transfer the meat mixture to the center of each tortilla and fold the tortilla into a closed packet and secure it using a wooden skewer or round toothpicks.
• Deep fry the chimichangas until golden brown. (Alternatively, you can skip the deep frying step altogether by arranging the chimichanga packets on a baking sheet and bake until cheese melts and tortillas begin to firm up, about 5 to 10 minutes in a preheated 180°C oven.)
• Remove the skewers/toothpicks before serving the chimichangas together with the guacamole.

SEAFOOD CHIMICHANGAS WITH GUACAMOLE - EMERIL LAGASSE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Lightly toast the ancho chiles, either over the burner of a gas stove, or in a large saute pan set over high heat. The skin should just start to blister. Remove from the heat and place in a bowl. Cover with hot water and let soak for 20 minutes. Drain, reserving the soaking water. Remove the stems and seeds and discard.
• Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly coat the aluminum foil with vegetable oil. Place the tomatoes, cut-side down, on the foil with the onion chunks and garlic cloves. Roast until tender and the skin on the tomatoes begins to blacken, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Remove the skin from the tomatoes. Place everything in a blender. Add the soaked chiles and 1/4 cup of the soaking water and process until smooth. Add more of the soaking water, if necessary to create a smooth sauce. Add the lime juice, cumin, oregano, and cilantro and pulse to combine. Taste, and season with salt and pepper.
• To a large saute pan over high heat, add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Add the diced onion and saute until just translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and scallops and cook until the shrimp just begin to turn pink and curl. Be careful not to overcook the seafood at this point, the mixture will be fried later, so it should be slightly undercooked. Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the sauce and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and place in a bowl. Add the crab and goat cheese and mix well. Fold in the chayote and cilantro
• Place 2 cups of the remaining sauce in a saucepan. Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce slightly while you are preparing the chimichangas. Taste, and reseason, if necessary. Excess sauce can be refrigerated for 1 week of frozen for 2 months.

• Heat several inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot to 360 degrees F. Using tongs, lower 1 burrito at a time into the hot oil, holding it together with the tongs until it is "sealed." Continue cooking until golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes, depending upon their size.
• Drain on paper towels. Garnish with the creamy sauce guacamole, tomatoes, sour cream, cilantro, and onions, and serve hot with Black Beans.
