Chimichangas

by Joyce Kohl

Chimichangas Source: Go Inside™
Chimichangas are among the favorite dishes in Mexican restaurants. Easily made at home.
Servings: Ingredients:
12

 

Recipe may be adjusted for number needed.

Suggestions for serving:

 

Guacamole

Chopped tomato

Green Relish

Sour Cream

Grated cheddar cheese

Shredded lettuce

 12 large flour tortillas

1/4 to 1 pound lean ground beef

OR cooked chuck roast chopped finely

1 large onion, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 tsp salt

2 T chili powder (optional)

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

1/2 cup refried beans

1 cup shredded jack cheese

1/2 tsp cumin
Directions:
  1. Cook meat until lightly browned, then add onions, green pepper and garlic. Cook until onion is transparent, stirring frequently. Stir in seasonings. Cook over medium-low heat until thoroughly hot. Then stir in shredded cheese and set aside to cool.
  1. Note: Tortilla should be pliable and in one piece. Heat a tortilla on a pan very briefly until it is warmed through. A pizza pan works great. Ladle some of the meat mixture into the center of a warmed tortilla. Fold one side in, then the other side, then fold the end closest to you and roll. Fasten with toothpicks.
  1. Into a frying pan with a least 3/4″ oil heated to 370 degrees, fry tortillas, turning until browned. About 1 1/2 minutes. Remove with tongs, drain on paper towels. May be kept warm in a low oven.
