Recipe



In a skillet; melt bacon grease over medium heat.
Saute meat, onion, garlic, tomatoes, chiles and potatoes until the
onion softens. Add salt, oregano, chili powder and cilantro; simmer
2-3 minutes. Place a scant 1/2 cup meat filling on each tortilla.
Fold, envelope-style, like a burrito. Fry, seam side down, in 1/2
inch of hot oil (360-375~F) until crispy and brown. Turn, and brown
other side. Drain briefly on a paoer towel. Place on a serving plate
and top with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream and salsa. Place
shredded lettuce next to chimichanga and top with tomatoes. Serve
immediately.
