The yummy Chimichanga also known as a deep fried burrito, it probably one of my favorites. I have said this a million times but I love Mexican food, and because I can't get any really good authentic food where I am. I try to make it myself. Instead of deep frying the burrito I put it in the oven a healthy version of this crunchy dish.
Ingredients
2 Cups of Mexican/Taco cheese
Fajita style tortillas
1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
1 can of fat free re fried beans
1 can of diced tomatoes
Fajita seasoning
chopped onions
** You can use any taco condiments or toppings that you would like.
Directions
In a stove top skillet brown your meat. Drain any excess fat. Add your fajita seasoning. You can use a store bought pack or you can make your own which is what I recently started to do. Below you will find a recipe for the Fajita Mix.
Lay your tortilla out flat on the counter. Add any ingredients that you would like. I used meat, beans, a little cheese and some onions.
Roll your Tortilla and tuck both ends in. Place seam side down on a baking dish.
Bake at 350 degrees for approx 10-15 minutes or until it is a crunchy as you like it.
Add all your favorite toppings and enjoy!
