Chimichangas

We call them Chimis, perhaps because we are so fond of them that we have to give them a nickname. My mom doesn't like to make them without me; she says I have the magic burrito rolling touch...whatever that means...so when I have time, I gladly make them for my family because, secretly, they are my favorite, too!

Yes, technically they are "fried"...but get over it. "Fried" or not, they are fabulous.

Chimichangas:

Brown 3/4 pound of ground turkey; set aside.

Saute 1 bell pepper (diced) and 1 onion (diced); add 1 clove diced garlic and saute until pepper and onion are soft.

Mix turkey, onion/pepper, 1 cup cheddar cheese, 1/2 tsp. cumin, 1 can refried beans, and 1 Tbsp. chili powder in a bowl.

Warm 7-8 tortillas in the microwave and place filling evenly among the tortillas. Roll tortillas into right burritos (fold sides in, then wrap up).

Place 1/2 inch oil into a pan and heat until it sizzles. Place 2 or 3 burritos in the oil and fry until golden brown, then flip to brown the other side. Take chimis out of oil, pat with paper towel and either serve immediately or place in a warm oven until you are ready to eat!

Serve with sour cream, avocado, and/or lime!!
