How to Make Beef And Bean Chimichangas

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb of ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
3. Add 1 medium chopped onion, 1 chopped bell pepper, and 1 cup of frozen corn to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
4. Stir in 1 cup of taco sauce and your chosen taco seasoning (or 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper). Cook until heated through and flavors are blended.
5. Set the beef mixture aside to cool slightly.
6. Spread a thin layer of refried beans onto each of the 12 flour tortillas.
7. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture down the center of each tortilla, and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
8. Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll up tightly, burrito-style. Place seam-side down on a lightly greased baking sheet.
9. Brush the chimichangas with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
11. Serve immediately with lettuce, tomato, and sour cream.
