BEEF CHIMICHANGAS



Beef Chimichangas image

The family requests this all the time. It is easy for my husband to make when I have to work late. Top with shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, salsa, and sour cream.

Provided by Linda Peterson

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon taco seasoning mix, or more to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ cup sour cream
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup margarine
6 (7 inch) corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Brown the ground beef, onion, garlic, taco seasoning, and oregano in a skillet over medium heat, breaking the meat up into crumbles as it cooks, about 8 minutes. Drain off excess fat. Stir in sour cream, chilies, and vinegar until well mixed. Remove from heat, and mix in the Cheddar cheese.
  • Melt margarine in a small skillet over low heat. When melted, dip each tortilla into the margarine for about 30 seconds, or until soft. Place the softened tortilla onto a baking sheet, and fill with about 1/3 cup of the meat mixture. Fold the right and left sides of the tortilla over the filling, then the top and bottom, making an envelope that completely encloses the filling. Flip the tortilla seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the tortilla is crisp, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: To make the most flavorful meat mix, start with high-quality ground beef and fresh vegetables. Look for lean ground beef with a fat content of 85% or less, and choose fresh, crisp vegetables that are free of blemishes.
  • Brown the beef thoroughly: Browning the beef properly is essential for developing flavor and preventing the meat from becoming dry. Cook the beef over medium-high heat until it is no longer pink in the center, stirring frequently to break up the meat into small pieces.
  • Season the meat mix well: The seasoning is what gives the meat mix its authentic Mexican flavor. Use a generous amount of chili powder, cumin, and oregano, and add a touch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The vegetables in the meat mix add flavor, texture, and color. Use a variety of vegetables, such as onions, bell peppers, and corn, to create a well-rounded dish. You can also add other vegetables, such as zucchini, carrots, or black beans, to your liking.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still retain a slight crunch. Overcooking the vegetables will make them mushy and bland.

Conclusion:

This Mexican meat mix is a versatile and delicious filling for chimichangas, tacos, burritos, and other Mexican dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bold flavors and hearty texture, this meat mix is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
