CHIMICHANGAS | Homemade Beef and Cheese Chimichangas Recipe
Today I decided to answer some of your comments from the last How To Make Chimichangas video while make cheesy beef chimichangas. I also added refried beans in the mix, but that is optional. You can also garnish and dress your chimichangas with the salsa, sour cream, extra cheese or any fresh ingredients you like. We prefer to dip and enjoy the crunchy texture.
CHEESY CHICKEN CHIMICHANGAS
INGREDIENTS
1 lb lean ground beef (I used a 90/10 lean meat to fat ratio)
1/3 cup chopped onions
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
8 oz sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups pintos beans (optional)
1 TBSP lard (for refried beans)
8 large burrito sized flour tortillas
oil for frying
-In a preheated skillet add 1 TBSP oil, onions, a pinch of salt and saute until onions are golden brown and translucent
-Next add ground beef, seasonings, spices and brown, then set aside to cool
-If you are using beans, in a preheated skillet add 1 TBSp lard or oil, add 2 cups pinto beans, heat and mash until they are a thick paste
-set refried beans aside to cool and stiffen
-To assemble take 1 large flour tortilla, add refried beans, ground beef and cheese to the center
-fold in two sides, then roll over once, slightly pull the roll back to tighten, then complete the roll
-be sure to tuck and roll tightly for a better fry or bake
IF YOU ARE FRYING
-you will preheat fry oil to at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit
-a shallow fry works best
-place chimichanga seam side down and hold in place for thirty seconds then continue to fry on both sides until exterior is a deep golden brown color, then place on a wire rack
IF YOU ARE BAKING
-place chimichangas seam side down on a baking sheet
-preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 20 to 25 minutes
Garnish with your favorite salsas, sauces, sour cream and fresh ingredients

Best Mexican American Food!! ORIGINAL CHIMICHANGA Deep Fried Burrito + illegal “MEAT CAGE!!”
???? JL Smokehouse BBQ:
???? El Charro Cafe, Tucson, Arizona:
TUCSON, ARIZONA - Welcome to Tucson, Arizona, an amazing food city and it happens to be a UNESCO City of Gastronomy. Along with a ton of amazingly delicious food, the chimichanga, which is a deep fried burrito often covered in sauce, was invented at a restaurant called El Charro Cafe! Today we’re going to eat the original chimichanga, filled with carne seca, a spectacular sun dried beef.

In 1922, Tia Monica Flin had a wrapped burrito in hand when she accidentally dropped it into the deep fat fryer. After being deep fried, it turned out it was a good thing, and they kept it! I love any accidental deep fry story and the chimichanga is no different. Today, they are known for a number of different things - inventing the original chimichanga, and carne seca, thin slices of beef which sun dry in a hanging cage above the restaurant. The carne seca is dried for two days, then shredded and cooked down with onions, tomatoes, and chilies. It’s then filled into your chimichanga. The combination of deep fried crispy tortilla and the smoky condensed flavor of the carne seca was something truly special.
Jeffrey, Mexi Papa, Adam, and I, all agreed that this is a one of a kind restaurant and the food is absolutely delicious. Without a doubt one of the best Mexican American / Tex Mex restaurants I’ve ever been too. That accidental deep fried burrito (a chimichanga) is truly a culinary experience and a gem of Tucson, Arizona.
