Usually deep-fried, chimichangas can also be oven-fried with less mess, fuss, and fat. Use the shredded beef filling in burritos as well. You may also deep fry if desired.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast , trimmed of fat
  • 0.25 cups water
  • 1.5 cups beef broth
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 4 , 8-inch
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 0.5 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 0.5 cups sour cream

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook beef and water in a Dutch oven, covered, over medium heat for 30 minutes. Remove cover; cook until liquid evaporated, and beef well browned, about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Combine beef broth, red wine vinegar, chili powder and cumin in a bowl; pour over beef. Cover and cook until beef very tender and pulls apart easily, about 2 hours. Cool, then shred and mix with pan juices.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Brush both sides tortillas with melted butter. Spoon beef filling down center of tortillas. Fold tortilla ends over filling, then fold sides to center to make a packet. Place chimichangas, seam-sides-down, in a 9x13-inch baking pan.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with salsa, shredded cheese, and sour cream.
