<\/p>\n
Ingredients:<\/p>\n
8 large flour tortillas (10-inch)<\/p>\n
1 lb ground beef (80\/20)<\/p>\n
1 small onion, finely chopped<\/p>\n
2 cloves garlic, minced<\/p>\n
1 tsp ground cumin<\/p>\n
1 tsp chili powder<\/p>\n
\u00bd tsp smoked paprika<\/p>\n
Salt and pepper, to taste<\/p>\n
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese<\/p>\n
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese<\/p>\n
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (plus more for garnish)<\/p>\n
2 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)<\/p>\n
Sour cream, salsa, and guacamole for serving<\/p>\n
Directions:<\/p>\n
Cook the Filling: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic until beef is browned and onion is softened (about 5\u20137 minutes). Drain any excess fat.<\/p>\n
Season: Stir in cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat, then mix in shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, and chopped cilantro.<\/p>\n
Assemble Chimichangas: Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Spoon about \u2153 cup of beef-cheese mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from one edge, keeping the seam on the bottom.<\/p>\n
Fry Until Crispy: In a large skillet, heat about 2 tbsp vegetable oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add chimichangas seam-side down. Fry 2\u20133 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp, turning carefully with tongs.<\/p>\n
Drain: Remove chimichangas and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.<\/p>\n
Serve: Slice each chimichanga in half or serve whole. Garnish with extra cilantro and offer sour cream, salsa, and guacamole on the side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
