Beef Bean Chimichangas

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Beef Bean Chimichangas.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   In a skillet heated to medium-high, brown the ground beef until it’s perfectly cooked, then drain any excess grease to keep your dish light.

3. Step 3

   Next, introduce the chopped onion, diced bell pepper, and corn to the skillet, allowing them to sauté for about five minutes until they soften and release their vibrant flavors.

4. Step 4

   Stir in the taco sauce, chili powder, garlic salt, and ground cumin, blending everything together until heated through, then remove from heat and set aside to let the flavors meld.

5. Step 5

   Take each tortilla and spread a thin layer of refried beans across the surface.

6. Step 6

   Spoon the savory beef mixture down the center of each tortilla, then sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.

7. Step 7

   Roll the tortillas tightly, ensuring the seam is tucked underneath as you place them seam-side down on a baking sheet.

8. Step 8

   For a golden finish, brush the tops with melted butter.

9. Step 9

   Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the chimichangas bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they achieve a delightful golden brown and crispy texture.

    Once out of the oven, serve them hot, garnished with a fresh sprinkle of shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes for a burst of color and crunch.
