{chimichangas}

Last night Lee and I made some yummy Beef Chimichangas. They were our first attempt and we fell in love {well, at least I know I did!}. Here is the recipe:

1 pound ground beef
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. taco seasoning or to taste
3/4 tsp. dried oregano
2 tbsp. and 2 tsp. sour cream
4 oz. can chopped green chiles
1 tbsp. and 1 tsp. distilled white vinegar
2/3 c. shredded cheddar cheese
3 tbsp. butter
4 medium flour tortillas

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2. Brown the beef, onion, garlic, taco seasoning and oregano in a skillet over medium heat, about 8 minutes. Drain off excess fat.
3. Stir in sour cream, chiles, and vinegar until well mixed. Remove from heat and mix in cheese.
4. Melt butter in a medium skillet over low heat. When melted, dip each tortilla in the butter until soft. Place the buttered tortilla onto a baking sheet and fill with about 1/3 c. meat mixture. Fold into a burrito and flip seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
5. Bake in oven for approximately 10 minutes or until crispy.
6. Top with sour cream and more cheese. Eat and enjoy!
