Lean shredded pork and pinto beans combine with south-of-the-border ingredients like green chiles and picante sauce in these from-scratch chimichangas. Because my recipe makes a lot, I can freeze some for those nights when I don't feel like cooking. -LaDonna Reed, Ponca City, Oklahoma

[email protected]I've made these chimichangas several times now and they are always a favorite. I like to use ground beef instead of pork, and I add some chopped green peppers and onions to the filling. They are always a hit with my family and friends.
