Chimichangas

Version I

Version II
Chimichangas I ~ Deep fried meat burritos.  Some variations of this recipe calls
for the use of refried beans.  You may want to serve the refried beans on the side
and use the chimichangas on a combination plate.  

12 flour tortillas (from the package) or homemade
Meat filling from  
Carne de Res en Chile Colorado (any good meat filling of your
choice will work)
½-inch oil for frying

1.  Place small amount of meat filling in a flour tortilla, roll like you would for a
Chinese egg roll (so they won't leak).  I normally use a pair of tongs to hold the
roll together until it has hardened slightly to prevent them from opening.

2.  Deep fry 2 - 3 chimichangas at a time until light golden brown.  Drain on paper
towels.

Makes 12
