- 1 Can of refried beans
- ½ Medium onion chopped
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp Chili powder
- ½ tsp Oregano
- 4 oz. Chopped jalapenos in a can
- 24 oz. Tomato sauce
- 4 oz. Diced green chilis in a can
- 1 ½ C. Shredded taco blend cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
- On medium-high heat, add the minced meat to the skillet. Cook until the meat is completely browned and drained off the excess liquid.
- In the same skillet as the meat, add the beans, onion, minced garlic, 12 cups tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, oregano, and pepper to taste. Cook for another 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring often to ensure that all of the ingredients are well combined.
- Microwave the tortillas for a few seconds until they are heated.
- In the bottom of a deep-sided pan, pour approximately an inch of oil and heat over medium-high heat on the stove.
- Fill the middle of each of the 10 tortillas with an equal quantity of filling. To make a packet, fold one end of the tortilla over the filling, tuck in the ends of the tortilla, and roll it closed. Using a toothpick, shut the packet.
- Place the filled chimichangas in the hot oil and fry until both sides are browned and crispy. Keep an eye on them because this won’t take long.
- Allow the chimichangas to cool on a paper towel-lined pan to absorb any excess grease.
- In a saucepan over medium heat on the stove, heat the remaining tomato sauce, green chilis, and jalapeño peppers until the sauce is warm.
- Season with pepper and salt to taste.
- Serve by ladling the sauce over the finished chimichangas and topping with shredded cheese.
