Ingredients

6 12" flour tortillas

enough vegetable oil for frying

toothpicks or wooden skewers

one scant cup of shredded chihuahua or oaxaca cheese

1 lb. shredded beef

1 onion sliced

1 cup canned enchilada sauce

1 tsp cumin

2 jalepeno peppers or 1 chipotle pepper diced

salt and pepper

Directions

Heat the oil in a pot to 350 degrees. reserve a little oil for frying the onion.

while heating the oil in the pot heats up to temp, saute the onion in a frying pan. when it is cooked for about three minutes add the beef, peppers, cumin, and enchilada sauce.

simmer stirring occasionally for about 8 - 10 minutes. when the beef has browned use a slotted spoon transfer this mixture into a warm tortilla.

sprinkle some of the shredded cheese of your choice on the top.

fold the tortilla into a packet and make sure it stays closed by fastening toothpicks or wooden skewers onto the folds.

deep fry the chimichanga until it's a golden brown color. remove the toothpicks or skewers when served.

Thank you for sharing this...this is one of my husband's so favorite meals! I have been working on a oven fried version but have not perfected it enough to post it yet. I didn't know about the Mexican cheeses, however.
