Chimichanga Filling

Method

Chimichanga Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded beef, refried beans, and cheddar cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Chimichangas

    Place a large flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon half of the filling mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Fold in the sides and then roll it up tightly. Repeat with the second tortilla.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chimichangas

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chimichangas seam-side down into the skillet. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the chimichangas hot with a side of rice, beans, pico de gallo, and spicy cheese dip.
