  • 1 lb - ground beef
  • 2 tbsp - olive oil
  • 1 - medium yellow onion small dice
  • 3 - garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp - cumin
  • 2 tsp - chili powder

  • 15 oz - black beans cooked
  • 1 cup - pepper jack cheese
  • vegetable oil as needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Heat a pan over medium high heat cook the ground beef until brown. Season with salt and pepper. Set the beef aside in a bowl to cool.
  • In the same pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil and add the diced onions and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes until soft. Add the cumin, chili powder, and cayenne. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture with the beef to cool.
  • Add the chopped green chilies and beans. Stir to combine.

  • Place the chimichangas seam side down and fry until golden on both sides. Place the chimichangas on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until crispy.
  • Serve with sour cream, diced tomatoes, or guacamole.
