Mini Chimichangas

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken or beef with the refried beans and half of the cheese. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Chimichangas

    Place about 1/4 cup of the filling in the center of each flour tortilla. Fold the sides in and roll tightly to enclose the filling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chimichangas

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chimichangas seam side down and cook until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the chimichangas from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Top with remaining cheese, sour cream, salsa, and jalapeños if desired.
