Instructions: Preheat the vegetable oil to 360 degrees F in a large pan. In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil. Season the beef with salt and cayenne. Sear the beef for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the onions and saute for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and tomatoes. Season with salt and cayenne. Saute for 1 minute.

Remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon a couple of tablespoons of the filling in the center of each tortilla. Spread the filling evenly in the center of each tortilla. Roll up each tortilla tightly and secure with toothpicks, making each into a flautta. Fry the flauttas in batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove the flauttas from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the flauttas with Emerils Creole Seasoning. Continue frying until all the flauttas are fried.

To assemble into a hero, spoon the queso on the bottom of a large platter.

Arrange the flauttas over the sauce. Garnish with the guacamole and salsa.

Yields: 6 servings.
