Meat Filling

Method

Preparing the Meat Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Spare Ribs

    If not already cooked, season the spare ribs with salt and pepper, then grill or bake in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 2.5 to 3 hours until tender. Once cooked, let them cool slightly, then shred the meat using two forks.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded spare rib meat with barbecue sauce, chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated. Set aside.

Assembling and Cooking the Chimichangas

  1. 3

    Fill the Tortillas

    Lay out each flour tortilla on a clean surface. Place about 1/2 cup of the meat filling in the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top of the meat filling.

  2. 4

    Fold the Tortillas

    Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, securing the filling inside. Repeat this process for all tortillas.

  3. 5

    Fry the Chimichangas

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the chimichangas seam side down. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving Suggestions

  1. 6

    Serve the Chimichangas

    Place the fried chimichangas on a serving plate. Serve hot with sour cream and guacamole on the side.
