How to Make Ground Beef Chimichangas
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 medium onion (chopped) and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 packet taco seasoning, 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Lay out 6 large flour tortillas. Spoon 1/4 cup of the meat mixture onto one edge of each tortilla.
- Fold the edge of the tortilla over the meat, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Secure with a toothpick.
- Lightly spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place the chimichangas seam-down in the prepared dish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve immediately, topped with your favorite chimichanga fixings such as shredded cheese, chili, sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and green onions.
