Chimichangas

Ingredients

Filling:

• 1 lb hamburger, chicken, beef, or pork
• ½ cup chopped onion
• 16 oz can refried beans
• 1 medium tomato, chopped
• ⅓ cup minced parsley
• ¼ cup thick and chunky taco sauce
• 1½ tsp oregano
• ¾ tsp cumin
• 12 flour tortillas

Toppings:

• shredded cheddar cheese
• shredded lettuce
• chopped tomatoes
• sour cream
• black olives
• guacamole

Directions

Cook meat and onion until done. Remove from heat. Mix in beans and rest of seasonings. Mix well.

Lay tortilla on a plate. Spoon filling in center of tortilla and fold sides over filling like an envelope. Secure with a toothpick.

Heat oil in a deep fryer. Fry chimichangas when the oil is hot. Watch and turn them over frequently so they won’t burn. Mom counts to 15 and then turns them over.

Repeat about four or five times. Drain grease off when they are done.
