    Recipe Introduction


    Posted by: candykisses_Oklahoma**************Serves: 6
    Effort: average
    Comments: the original recipe came out of "quick cooking". I changed it just a little to what we would like. These also freeze really well

    List of Ingredients




    1-1/2 lb. ground beef
    1/2 c. finely chopped onion
    1 (16 oz.) can refried beans
    1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
    2 t. chili powder
    1 garlic cloves, minced
    1/2 t. ground cumin
    12 flour tortillas (10")
    Butter flavored Pam

    Sauce:
    1 (16 oz.) can tomato sauce
    1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chilies
    1 can (4 oz.) chopped jalapeno peppers

    Vegetable oil for frying
    1-1/2 c. shredded mild cheddar cheese

    Recipe



    Instructions:
    In a skillet, cook beef & onions until done. Drain. (I run hot water over it to help get rid of the grease).
    Stir in beans, tomato sauce, chili powder, garlic & cumin.
    Spoon about 1/3 c. of beef mixture off-center on tortillas. Fold edge nearest filling up & over to cover. Fold in both sides & roll up. (Fasten with toothpick if desired).
    Spray outside of tortillas with butter flavored pan.
    Bake at 350 for 25 - 30 min. or until golden brown (if frozen, thaw before baking)
    Or you can fry the chimichangas for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Drain on paper towels
    Sauce:
    Mix tomato sauce, green chilies & jalapeno peppers. Warm the sauce.
    Serve over chimichangas. Top with cheese.

    Freezer instructions:
    After making the chimichangas (before baking or frying) spray a cookie sheet with Pam & lay the chimichangas single layer on cookie sheet. Cover with wax paper & place in freezer about 2 hrs.
    Take out & place in freezer container. Can be frozen up to 3 months.
    Sauce:
    After sauce is warmed; place in freezer container. Thaw & heat when needed. Sauce can be frozen up to 3 months
