Category: Mexican, Beef

 Ingredients List

  • 1 lb Ground beef
  • 1 md Sized chopped onion
  • 1/2 c Enchilada sauce (canned is
  • -fine)

 Directions

first, make the meat filling Brown the meat and drain. Add the onion, cook
until soft. Add the

sauce and let simmer for 10 minutes Now you're ready to really start. 12
flour tortillas(7 inches in diameter) 2 1/4 cups of meat filling(from
above) 1 1/2 to 2 cups each of shredded cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce,
and chopped green onions or radishes Sour cream

Spoon 3 tablespoons of the filling down the center of tortilla.

Fold tortilla around filling, and fasten with wooden toothpicks. Assemble
only 2 or 3 at a time, or the tortilla will absorb liquid from the filling.
Fry in 1 inch of hot oul over medium heat (350degrees), turning,

until golden; takes 1 to 2 minutes. Lift from fat with a slotted spoon,
draining, then place on a thick layer of paper towels; keep in a warm place
until all are cooked. Serve garnished with 2 or 3 tablespoons each shredded
cheese, lettuce,

and radishes or green onions, and add sour cream to taste. Do not forget to
remove the toothpicks before serving. I've done

it once, and it is extremely painful. These aren't quite like the ones you
get in restaurants, because

they use huge platter-sized tortillas. They are still a grease maniac's
dreamvery greasy, very tasty. You can use animal fat or lard to fry up
the chimichangas, I believe, but I would suggest using vegetable oil. It
works just fine, and the other way will probably cause a cholesterol
overload. Otherwise, it's fantastic.
