My husband and I used to always order these at a restaurant so I came up with a recipe to make them at home. They are so tasty that we rarely go out for Mexican any more!

Categories     Seafood

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 lb shrimp
taco seasoning
3/4 c shredded cheddar cheese
1 can(s) whole pinto beans, drained
4 large/burrito size flour tortillas
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. If necessary, devein and remove shells from shrimp. Chop shrimp into small pieces and sauté in a little oil. Turn burner low and add enough taco seasoning to coat shrimp. Remove from heat when finished cooking.
  • 2. Heat up pinto beans and steam tortillas in microwave by layering a damp paper towel between tortillas.
  • 3. Fill tortillas with a scoop of shrimp, beans and cheese and roll using picture I posted.
  • 4. Heat up ½ inch of oil in a pan big enough for all the chimis to fit in the bottom. Test oil with a little piece of tortilla, when it starts frying immediately, it's ready.
  • 5. Place each chimi in oil, seam side down, and swirl each one around a little when you first set it in the pan to keep it from sticking. Slowly turn chimis until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • 6. Serve hot with sour cream, guacamole and Spanish rice. *I like to make my chimis with a little of the Spanish rice in them.

These chimichangas were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra sauce next time.

These chimichangas were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

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 little bland for my taste. I think next time I'll add some extra spices to the shrimp.

These were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought chimichanga sauce and they were still delicious.
