BEEF CHIMICHANGAS RECIPE | EATINGWELL
To slash 150 calories in this healthy chimichanga recipe, we bake rather than fry and use less beef by stretching the filling with mushrooms and beans. Top the baked chimichangas with fresh salsa (found near other refrigerated dips and sauces) instead of jarred salsa to save on sodium.

Steps:
- Place a large baking sheet in the oven; preheat to 425 degrees F.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until the onion is soft, about 2 minutes. Add beef, mushrooms, chili powder, cumin, oregano and salt; cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until the beef is no longer pink, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in refried beans and chiles; cook, stirring, until hot, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven, place on a heatproof surface and coat with cooking spray. Place a tortilla on a clean work surface and spread 2/3 cup of the beef mixture along the bottom third. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cheese, tuck the sides over the filling and roll up from the bottom into a burrito. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, filling and cheese. Generously coat the tops and sides of the chimichangas with cooking spray.
- Bake the chimichangas until browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve topped with lettuce and salsa.

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.
