Ingredients
8 Servings
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 8 flour tortillas
- 2 cloves garlic
- 500 g ground beef
- 250 ml oil
- 1 onion
- 400 g refried beans
- 1 tsp salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent.
Step 3
Stir in the refried beans, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 5
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
Step 6
Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef and bean mixture onto each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up the tortilla to enclose the filling.
Step 7
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chimichangas, seam side down, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 8
Place the fried chimichangas on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to ensure they are heated through.
Step 9
Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
