Ground Beef Corn And Black Bean Chimichangas
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!!
