Time 30m

Yield 12 chimichangas, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1/4 cup white onion, chopped
1 jalapeno peppers (more or less to taste) or 1 serrano chili, seeded and chopped (more or less to taste)
1 garlic clove, minced
2 cups refried beans (canned or homemade)

  • Heat tortillas, one at a time, over medium low heat just to soften, about 15 seconds per side.

  • Fold in the sides, then continue rolling; flatten slightly with your hand.
  • Heat remaining oil in a skillet over medium low heat; brown chimichangas, in batches, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Serve with pico de gallo, sour cream, and shredded cheese, or whatever you choose.

These chimichangas were easy to make and tasted great. I used a whole wheat tortilla and reduced-fat cheese to make them a little healthier. They were still delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly and the chimichangas turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside. I served them with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole, and they were a big hit with my guests.

The chimichangas were good, but the refried beans were a little bland. I would add some spices next time.

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