Chimichangas

These is nothing I love more than Mexican cooking- and I definitely wear myself out with tacos sometimes so I decided to try making Chimichangas. These don't require very specific measurements- in fact you can add just about anything to it- (or even take away too..)



 Ingredients: ( I made 2 with this)
 Ground beef (about 1/3 pound or so)
Spoonful of re-fried beans
3 chopped green onions, save some chives for garnish
3-4 tablespoons of salsa
2 (larger) tortillas
Mexican shredded cheese ( didn't measure because I love it so much- but any amount works)




Looks weird, but its good!
-Warm up ground beef in a fry pan until brown- if you would like to add spices of your choice now is a good time, I added a teaspoon of taco seasoning.
-Add the green onion and let it soften for a minute
-Now you can add your salsa, re-fried beans and cheese, stir and let everything melt together.
-While doing this heat up another fry pan witha thin layer of oil.
*for a healthier- but less yummy option- you can preheat your oven and bake chimichangas for 5 minutes

When your beef mix is ready scoop into a tortilla, and fold like a wrap.
You wont want to fill it so much that it leaks, sometimes its better to just have two smaller ones.
Place chimichangas in new fry pan with oil and let them fry untill they are golden brown




*If you want to bake them, you can cover the tops with cheese for a little more flavor. These pictures show the baked kind





Es Comida muy perfecto ;)
