Ground Beef, Corn and Black Bean Chimichangas image

The filling for these chimichangas is delicious! Adjust all seasonings to suit taste, I add in 2-3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped in with the ground beef mixture for extra flavor and heat but that is only optional. The amounts listed are enough for 6 chimichangas you can double the complete recipe, but keep the garlic amount no more than 2 tablespoons. These are really good!

I've made these chimichangas several times and they're always a hit. They're a great way to use up leftover ground beef and corn.

These chimichangas were a bit too greasy for my liking. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These chimichangas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chimichangas turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside.
