Combine meat and juices in large fry pan and add chiles, tomatoes, Goldwater's Chili Mix and remaining spices. Cook slowly until moisture is gone, about 30 minutes.
- To assemble chimis, place 2 tablespoons longhorn cheese on each tortilla. Top with 2 to 3 tablespoons meat mixture. Add 2 tablespoons Monterey jack cheese. Season with garlic salt and pepper. Fold all sides in and secure with wooden picks to make a square. Deep fry in 1 inch hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Top with remaining cheese.
