Toppings & Sides

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep vegetables and toppings

    Dice potatoes and onion; mince garlic. Prepare lettuce and green onions for topping.

  2. 2

    Warm tortillas briefly to make them pliable.

Cook fillings

  1. 3

    Cook potatoes

    Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and onions; season with 0.5 tsp salt, 0.25 tsp pepper, 0.5 tsp cumin, and 0.5 tsp chili powder. Cook 8-10 minutes until potatoes are tender and edges browned. Stir in garlic for 30 seconds.

Eggs & Beans

  1. 4

    Scramble eggs

    In a separate nonstick skillet, whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring until just set. Remove from heat.

  2. 5

    Warm beans

    Gently warm refried beans in a small saucepan until heated through.

Assemble

  1. 6

    Assemble tortilla fillings

    Spread a thin layer of refried beans on each tortilla. Top with potatoes and onions, then add scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, pico de gallo, and a thin line of guacamole.

  2. 7

    Roll tortillas into tight burritos, tucking in the ends as you roll. Secure with a toothpick if needed.

Cook & serve

  1. 8

    Fry chimichangas

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry rolled chimichangas until golden and crisp on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  2. 9

    Garnish and serve

    Remove toothpicks. Top with shredded lettuce, sour cream, and sliced green onions. Serve with extra pico de gallo and guacamole on the side if desired.
