Chimichangas.... yum. No further description necessary. 


Ingredients:
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 3/4 cup whole kernel corn
  • 7 oz diced green chilies
  • 1/2 cup red enchilada sauce
  • 2 t chili powder

  • Shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sour cream optional for topping


Preheat oven to 350*. 

Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat. Drain grease. Add the onion, chilies and corn. Cook for about 5 minutes on medium high heat. Stir in enchilada sauce and season with chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Open can of refried beans and mix into meat mixture until combined.
