Baked Pork Chimichangas image

Lean shredded pork and pinto beans combine with south-of-the-border ingredients like green chiles and picante sauce in these from-scratch chimichangas. Because my recipe makes a lot, I can freeze some for those nights when I don't feel like cooking. -LaDonna Reed, Ponca City, Oklahoma
