Today's "The Chew" showcased Mexican cooking. Being a lover of Mexican food, I had to share these recipes with you.
Mario Batali's Chile Chicken Flautas
ingredients
3 tablespoons Olive Oil
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat and add the 3 tablespoons oil.
Season the chicken with salt, cumin, coriander, and cayenne. Add the chicken to the pot and cook until golden brown, 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside on a plate.
Add the onion, garlic, and fresno chili and sauté for 3 more minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for another minute.
Remove the ancho pepper from the water, puree with the chipotle and add to the pot, reserving the soaking liquid.
Place 2 tablespoons of the chicken into a warmed flour tortilla. Add a little cheese and cilantro. Roll the tortilla up and fasten with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Heat 2 inches of oil in a large cast iron skillet to about 350 degrees. Place the tortillas into the oil seam side down and working in batches fry until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a towel lined plate to drain.
Pati Jinich's Pepito Flank Steak
The "Pepito" sandwich is a traditional Mexican torta that is simple, versatile, and easy to adjust to your own tastes!
ingredients
· 1 1/2 Lb flank steak
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespons olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic (finely chopped or pressed)
1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Marinate the flank steak with the soy sauce, olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary and black pepper. You may marinate it anywhere from 1/2 hour to overnight in the refrigerator. Remove the meat from the refrigerator and sprinkle with salt when you are ready to cook it.
Slice the baguettes, teleras or bolillos in half lengthwise and place in a baking sheet. Spread about 3 tablespoons of refried beans on the bottom half of each bread. Cover with about 3 to 4 tablespoons shredded cheese. Place in the oven and let the bread crisp and the cheese melt, for about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Top the pepitos with a generous amount of the thinly sliced meat and 3 to 4 tablespoons of the guacamole. Place the tops on top! Eat while hot.
FOR GUACAMOLE: Gently mix ingredients in a bowl or molcajete and serve. It can be prepared up to 12 hours in advance if covered and stored in the refrigerator.
