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!

Steps:
- In a skillet cook the ground beef with onion, garlic and bell pepper until no longer pink; drain fat.
- Add in 1-2 tablespoons oil, chili powder, cumin, thyme and cayenne; cook stirring until well browned (about 10-12 minutes) season with seasoned salt (or white salt) and black pepper.
- Add in chopped tomatoes and salsa; cook stirring for about 15-20 minutes.
- Add in corn, refried beans and black beans; stir with wooden spoon until heated through (about 5-6 minutes) season with more salt and pepper if desired; remove from heat.
- Place about 1/2 cup ground beef filling down the middle of each tortilla; fold opposite sides of the tortilla to center over the beef mixture, then fold ends toward center; secure with a toothpick; place on a plate and refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
- Heat about 2-inches oil in a heavy skillet until 375°F.
- Fry 1-2 chimichangas at a time in hot oil about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Place a bed of shredded lettuce onto a large serving plate or dish (this is only optional) then top with chimichangas.
- Sprinkle each hot chimichanga with cheddar cheese then dollop with sour cream.
- Serve with salsa and/or guacamole if desired.
- Delicious!
