Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound lean ground beef
¾ cup chopped onion
¾ cup diced green bell pepper
1 ½ cups whole kernel corn
2 cups taco sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
8 (12 inch) flour tortillas
1 (16 ounce) package shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 tablespoon butter, melted
shredded lettuce
1 tomato, diced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease, and add the onion, bell pepper, and corn. Cook for about 5 more minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Stir in the taco sauce, and season with chili powder, garlic salt and cumin, stirring until blended. Cook until heated through, then remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Open the can of beans, and spread a thin layer of beans onto each of the tortillas. Spoon the beef mixture down the center, and then top with as much shredded cheese as you like. Roll up the tortillas, and place them seam-side down onto a baking sheet. Brush the tortillas with melted butter.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Serve with lettuce and tomato.

I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, but I really enjoyed these chimichangas. The filling was flavorful and the chimichangas were crispy and delicious. I would definitely make these again.

These chimichangas were amazing! The beef and bean filling was so flavorful and the chimichangas were fried to perfection. I will definitely be making these again and again.

Overall, these chimichangas were good, but not great. I would probably make them again, but I would make some changes to the recipe.

These chimichangas were a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I would prefer to buy them from a restaurant next time.

The filling for these chimichangas was a bit bland. I had to add some extra spices to make it more flavorful.

These chimichangas were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred to bake them instead of frying them.

I've made these chimichangas several times now and they are always a hit! I love that they can be made with pantry staples and that they are so versatile. I've even used leftover rice and beans to make the filling.

These chimichangas were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still delicious. I will definitely be making these again.

I'm not a huge fan of beef, but I really enjoyed these chimichangas. The bean filling was so flavorful that it made up for the beef. I would definitely make these again.

I made these chimichangas for a party and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them. I especially liked the fact that they can be made ahead of time and then fried just before serving.
