Homemade Chimichangas

   Posted by: MotherHen   in Beans, Vittles

These were absolutely delicious!  And the best part was I didn’t do a lick of the work!  Tex made ‘em.

You’ll need:

  • 2 lbs ground meat (we used pork sausage)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 lg can refried beans (30 oz.)
  • 1 can diced green chiles (4 oz. – I think)
  • 1 can tomato sauce (8 oz.)
  • ~1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 20 flour tortillas
  • 1 stick butter, melted

Preheat your oven to 350°.

  1. Cook the ground meat in a large frying pan.  Add the diced onion and cook over medium heat until the onion is at least limp.  Turn the heat to medium/low and add the beans, chiles, tomato sauce and taco seasoning.  Stir it all together and cook for 5 minutes.
  2. Line 2 large cookie trays with foil so ya don’t have to wash ‘em when you’re done.  Spoon meat/bean mixture into the tortillas, about ¼+ cup in each, and roll ‘em up.  You don’t have to worry about tucking the ends in, the filling won’t spill out.  Put ‘em on the cookie tray with the seam side down.  Brush each burrito with melted butter.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes.  Turn each burrito over and brush with butter again.  Bake for another 15 minutes or so, until nicely browned.

These are crispy-delicious!

You could add cheese before rolling, or mix some corn into the meat/bean mixture, and you might like to spoon some chili over the top once they are done.  We had sorta planned to do all of these “optional” ideas and forgot to.  Oooops!

Guess what?  They were fabulous just the way they were.  I cant’ believe I forgot to take a picture.  Yeah I can, I was eating and they were delicious!

We make quesadillas and taco roll-ups the same way. It’s so easy to just stick it in the oven. By the way, I’m so happy you are back to posting again. You were missed.
