Chimichanga Filling

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Cook the Filling

    Stir in diced tomatoes and cook for an additional 5 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in Oaxaca cheese until melted.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Chimichangas

    Lay a flour tortilla on a flat surface. Place about 1/4 cup of the filling in the center and fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chimichangas

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chimichangas one or two at a time. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Top with crumbled queso fresco and serve hot. Enjoy!
