| 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 |
