Cooking Instructions
Assemble the Chimichangas
In the center of each flour tortilla, place a portion of the beef mixture, a spoonful of refried beans, and a handful of shredded cheese. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly.
Fry the Chimichangas
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry each chimichanga seam-side down for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Carefully turn and fry the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
Drain and Serve
Once fried, remove the chimichangas from the oil and place on paper towels to drain. Serve hot with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
