Beef Chimichangas
I found this recipe online, since there was only one beef chimi recipe on the zaar and it didn't look like the one i had in a local diner the other week that turned out amazing. So, this recipe seems much closer to what i ate, so i'm posting it here and i'll try it tonight.
Steps
Preheat oven to 350f.
Wrap stacked tortillas in aluminum foil , and heat in oven 15 minutes or until hot.
To microwave , wrap a stack of tortillas lightly in paper towels and warm on high for 6 or 7 seconds per tortilla.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat , brown beef.
Drain , leaving beef in the pan.
Add onion , chile or enchilada sauce , salt , and pepper.
Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until onions are transparent.
In the center of each warm tortilla , spoon 1 / 6 of meat filling.
Fold tortilla , tucking in the ends to make a secure fat tube , and fasten with wooden toothpicks.
In a large pot or deep fryer over medium heat , add at least 4 inches of vegetable oil.
Heat oil to 375 - 400f fry the chimichangas , 1 or 2 at a time , 3 minutes or until golden brown.
