Preparation and Cooking

Cook the Filling
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or shredded chicken. Cook until browned, then drain any excess fat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and taco seasoning, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

Assemble the Chimichangas
In a large bowl, mix the cooked meat mixture with refried beans and shredded cheese. Lay a flour tortilla flat and place a generous portion of the filling in the center. Fold the sides over the filling and then roll it up tightly from the bottom.
