Easy Baked Chimichangas

Recipe #391133 | 30 min | 10 min prep | add private note

This is a wonderful recipe that allows me to get my chimichanga fix without all the fat of a deep fried restaurant chimichanga. I team it up with a salad and some rice for a delicious, speedy go-to meal that's fit for company.

SERVES 10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 lb extra lean ground beef
  • 2 cups salsa

  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed
  • 2 cups low fat shredded cheddar cheese

  • 10 (8 inch)  flour tortillas

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 425.
  2. 2
    In large skillet, brown and crumble ground beef till no longer pink.
  3. 3
    Drain off any fat.
  4. 4
    Add the salsa, black beans and cheese to the meat.
  5. 5
    Over low heat, heat meat mixture through till cheese is melted.
  6. 6
    Divide meat mixture evenly between the tortillas.
  7. 7
    Roll each tortilla up, tucking in ends so the meat mixture is completely enclosed.
  8. 8
    Place on baking sheet and lightly spray the top of each chimichanga with cooking spray.
  9. 9
    Bake for 20 minutes or until chimichangas are nicely golden and crispy.
  10. 10
    *note: These come out of the oven extremely hot. I let them sit for 10 minutes or so before serving.
