How to make Beef and Cheese Chimichanga
Step 1: Cook the beef in a large skillet over medium heat until the beef is no longer pink.
Step 2: Then, stir in the beans, onions, half cup of tomato sauce, chili powder, garlic, and cumin.
Step 3: On each center of tortilla, spoon about 1/3 cup of the beef mixture. Fold in the edge of the tortilla, then, the other edge over to cover the filling and roll-up. Secure the rolls with toothpicks.
Step 4: Combine the chilis, peppers, and the rest of the tomato sauce in a large saucepan. Heat the mixture through.
Step 5: Heat an inch of oil in an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer to 375 degrees.
Step 6: Once heated, fry the chimichangas for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on both sides or until browned.
Step 7: Transfer the chimichangas on paper towels to drain.
Step 8: Sprinkle the chimichangas with cheese and serve with sauce. Enjoy!
