CHIMICHANGAS RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE IT - TASTE OF HOME



Chimichangas Recipe: How to Make It - Taste of Home image

Though still debated, Tucson is generally credited as the original home of the chimichanga (fried "burro", as we call them, stuffed with meat, onions and chiles). I've combined several recipes into this one, and it's fairly authentic. —Laura Towns, Glendale, Arizona

Categories     World Cuisine    Latin American    Mexican

Total Time 40 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Yield 6 chimichangas

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.
