Chimichanga Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook until onions are soft, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Chimichangas

    Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a portion of the beef mixture and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese onto the center. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chimichangas

    In a deep pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the chimichangas, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve hot with BBQ sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
