Method
Chimichanga Filling Preparation
Cook the Meat
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the Mixture
Stir in the taco seasoning and refried beans, mixing well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Add Cheese
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until it melts and combines with the filling.
Chimichanga Assembly and Cooking
Prepare the Tortillas
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon an equal amount of the filling into the center of each tortilla.
Fold the Tortillas
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll up from the bottom to enclose the filling completely.
Fry the Chimichangas
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot. Carefully add the rolled chimichangas seam-side down and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Drain and Serve
Remove the chimichangas from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with sour cream, salsa, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced avocado.
