Beef Chimichangas

I ate a dish similar to this in a resteraunt. I could never find a recipe, so I made up my own. This recipe is almost exact to the one I had in the resteraunt. You can spice it up with peppers, guacomole, or anything else. Any meltable cheese can be used for the sauce. Let me know what you think.

Pretty good. I added some chilies to the meat/tomato mix to spice it up, and some cayenne pepper in the cheese sauce.

    Very good chimis! I used shredded chicken instead of beef, but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. Everyone loved them!

    I made these for dinner tonight. I cooked the roast in the crockpot WITH the tomatoes, the tomatoes made the meat incredibly tender. I added some finely minced jalepenos to the cheese sauce, using Mexican White Ranchero cheese instead of the Velveeta and served with Spanish rice (using the tomatoes from the crockpot), and refried beans seasoned with fresh cilantro. Very tasty chimichangas!

    Everybody loved them. I did change things a bit though, I threw everything into the same pot cheese and all and rolled them up like that. Yum -
