~~~ Chimichangas ~~~

Ingredients:

½ pound ground beef

1 onion, finely chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon ground cumin

1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce

2 tablespoons chopped mild green chiles 
⅓ cup shredded cheddar cheese

4 (8-inch) flour tortillas

Directions:  Preheat the oven to 400 F. Spray a nonstick baking sheet with nonstick spray then set aside. 
In a skillet on medium-high heat add the beef, onion, garlic, chili powder, oregano and cumin. Cook until the beef is browned and then spoon off the fat.  Stir in the tomato sauce and the chiles; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the flavors are blended and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheddar. 
Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in foil and place in the oven to warm for 10 minutes. Once you get the tortillas warmed spoon about ½ cup of the filling into the center of each tortilla.  Fold in the sides, then roll to enclose the filling. Place the chimichangas, seam-side down, on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the tortillas with nonstick spray. Bake until golden and crisp, about 20 minutes. Do not turn. 
Top the chimichangas with your favorite salsa and 2 tablespoons of sour cream.  Enjoy!  ~ Chef ~
