BAKED BAJA BEEF CHIMICHANGAS RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Baked Baja Beef Chimichangas Recipe - Food.com image

This is an authentic 40 year-old recipe, and the filling will not taste the same as fast food style chimichangas. The only thing Americanized here is that the chimichangas are baked instead of fried. Caution: If you use leanest ground beef, the filling will seem dry. Serve lots of lettuce, tomatoes and other garnishes listed below with each chimichanga - they are important to this dish's all around flavors and textures.

Total Time 33 minutes

Prep Time 25 minutes

Cook Time 8 minutes

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

10 -12 flour tortillas
6 tablespoons melted butter
2 lbs lean ground beef
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)
1/2 teaspoon salt (more or less to taste)
shredded lettuce
chopped tomato
grated cheese
sour cream
salsa

Steps:

  • Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in a 300* oven while making the filling.
  • Brown ground beef and drain.
  • Mix in vinegar and seasonings to the drained meat, but do not cook the mixture further.
  • Remove tortillas from oven and increase oven temperature to 500*.
  • Brush each side of tortilla with melted butter.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup ground beef filling onto center of each buttered tortilla.
  • Fold in sides, then roll up tortilla from the bottom.
  • Place seam-side down on a foil-lined and rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake at 500* for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Serve on a large bed of shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes.
  • Top with sour cream, shredded cheese, and salsa.

BAKED BEEF CHIMICHANGAS | JUST A PINCH RECIPES



Baked Beef Chimichangas | Just A Pinch Recipes image

Perfect for a crowd! We just loved this baked take on our Mexican restaurant faves. The meat is fall-apart tender. Mixing chilis and cilantro with the meat adds a lot of flavor. Brushing the chimichangas with a bit of oil makes the tortillas very crispy out of the oven. It's the taste of being fried, but it's baked with fewer calories.

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 4 hours 20 minutes

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pound(s) beef roast
2 package(s) fajita seasoning
2 tablespoon(s) garlic, diced
1 large onion
1 can(s) diced green chilis
1/4 cup(s) cilantro, fresh
1 can(s) refried beans
1 package(s) Colby Jack cheese
2 package(s) soft taco shells (10 count)
- sour cream, for garnish
- vegetable oil or cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat skillet on stovetop on high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Place roast in pan.
  • Sear on both sides.
  • Place in slow cooker on high heat.
  • Slice onion and place on top of roast with garlic, the two packets of fajita seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Let cook for 4 hours or until you can shred the beef with a fork.
  • At that point, shred the beef. I find using two forks work the best.
  • Add the green chili and the chopped cilantro to a bowl.
  • Mix together with the beef.
  • Preheat oven to 400. Heat refried beans on the stove until they are heated and creamy and easily spreadable.
  • Warm soft taco shells in the microwave (about 30 sec, just until warm so the can be rolled).
  • Spray baking sheets with cooking spray.
  • Assemble chimis by spreading beans, cheese, beef mixture on tortilla shells then fold.
  • I fold them by folding the shell by a third.
  • Tuck in the sides.
  • Then folding them the rest of the way over. Eyeball how much of each to put on one shell, depending on how big your shells are.
  • Place on baking sheet seam side down. Using a pastry brush, brush the finished chimis with vegetable oil if you are using that or spray them with cooking spray if that is what you are using.
  • Place them in oven for about 15 minutes. Keep an eye on the bottom of the chimis. You don't want them to burn (depends on what kind of baking sheet you are using).
  • Take the chimis out of oven. Turn on the oven broiler. Top chimis with cheese.
  • Place them under the broiler for 2-5 minutes until cheese is bubbly. (Keep a close watch!! You don't want them to burn!)
