Beef and Cheese Chimichangas

 Beef and Cheese Chimichangas Recipe

Ingredients:

6 large flour tortillas

1 lb ground beef

1 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Vegetable oil, for frying

Salsa, sour cream, and guacamole, for serving

Directions:

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onions are soft.

Add the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes.

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses until melted.

Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.

Spoon the beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling.

In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chimichangas seam-side down in the skillet. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, turning as needed.

Remove the chimichangas from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
