COMBINATION PLATES - Chimichanga Filling (Beef or Chicken)
1. Prepare filling
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or chicken with the diced onion until the meat is browned and onions are translucent. Drain excess fat.
2. Season filling
Stir in minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add beans and cheese
Stir in refried beans and shredded cheese until melted and creamy. Remove from heat.
4. Assemble chimichangas
Warm tortillas until pliable. Spread a thin line of filling along the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to seal. Brush edges with a little water if needed to seal.
5. Fry the chimichangas
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the filled tortillas, turning once, until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
6. Serve
Arrange the chimichangas on plates and serve with Mexican rice, beans, guacamole, and sour cream on the side.
