Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon taco seasoning mix, or more to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ cup sour cream
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup margarine
6 (7 inch) corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Brown the ground beef, onion, garlic, taco seasoning, and oregano in a skillet over medium heat, breaking the meat up into crumbles as it cooks, about 8 minutes. Drain off excess fat. Stir in sour cream, chilies, and vinegar until well mixed. Remove from heat, and mix in the Cheddar cheese.
  • Melt margarine in a small skillet over low heat. When melted, dip each tortilla into the margarine for about 30 seconds, or until soft. Place the softened tortilla onto a baking sheet, and fill with about 1/3 cup of the meat mixture. Fold the right and left sides of the tortilla over the filling, then the top and bottom, making an envelope that completely encloses the filling. Flip the tortilla seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the tortilla is crisp, about 15 minutes.

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 12 chimichangas

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 ripe avocados
1 large red onion, diced
2 serrano chiles, stems and seeds removed and chopped (use gloves to handle these)
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (1 or 2 limes depending on size)
3 ripe tomatoes, seeds removed and diced
3 cloves garlic, roughly diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 large flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 liter vegetable or canola oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red onion, sliced
3 pounds ground beef
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
4 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons celery salt
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Slice each avocado in half lengthwise, pop out seed and slip off the skin. Smash the avocado in a bowl and add onion, chiles, cilantro, lime juice, tomatoes, and garlic and mix well. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and let sit in refrigerator for a couple of hours to allow flavors to combine.
  • Lay out tortillas and sprinkle about 1/8 cup cheese on each. Begin heating vegetable oil to 350 degrees F in deep-fryer.
  • In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium-high heat and saute onion until translucent. To this pan, add ground beef, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, celery salt, and salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Divide meat mixture into equal amounts in the pan. Then using a slotted spoon to leave excess liquid behind, transfer meat mixture to the center of each tortilla and fold the tortilla into a closed packet and secure using a wooden skewer or round toothpicks. Deep fry chimichangas until golden brown. (Alternatively, you can skip the deep frying step altogether by arranging the chimichanga packets on a baking sheet and bake until cheese melts and tortillas begin to firm up, about 5 to 10 minutes in a preheated 350 degrees F oven.) Remove skewers/toothpicks before serving.

Oven-Fried Beef Chimichangas image

A good, simple alternative to deep-frying. I think I got this from OAM Cookbook years ago. Make sure the tortillas are room temperature or they will crack when you roll them. You can microwave the whole package for about 20 seconds to speed things up.

¾ cup chopped onion
¾ cup diced green bell pepper
1 ½ cups whole kernel corn
2 cups taco sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt

Tips:

  • For a crispy chimichanga, make sure the tortillas are completely dry before frying. You can pat them dry with a paper towel or let them air dry for a few minutes.
  • If you don't have a deep fryer, you can shallow fry the chimichangas in a large skillet. Just add enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet and heat it over medium-high heat.
  • To make sure the chimichangas are cooked through, fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  • Serve the chimichangas immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese.
  • For the fried rice, be sure to use day-old rice. This will help prevent the rice from becoming too sticky.
  • To get the best flavor, use a variety of vegetables in your fried rice. Some good options include carrots, celery, peas, and onions.
  • Be sure to season the fried rice well with soy sauce, garlic, and ginger.
  • For a more flavorful fried rice, add some protein, such as chicken, shrimp, or tofu.

Conclusion:

Beef chimichangas with fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. The chimichangas are crispy on the outside and filled with a flavorful beef and cheese filling. The fried rice is fluffy and flavorful, and it makes a great side dish.
