Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 5 Minutes
Ready In: 25 Minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
1/2 pound(s) boneless beef chuck roast, cubed
2 tablespoon(s) finely chopped onion
2 tablespoon(s) canned chopped green chilies
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
dash pepper
1 1/2 to 2 cup(s) water
2 tomatillos, husks removed, chopped
2 tablespoon(s) finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon(s) canola oil
2 teaspoon(s) canned chopped green chilies
2 teaspoon(s) minced fresh cilantro
4 garlic cloves, minced
dash salt and pepper
2 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed
oil for deep-fat frying
Directions:
1. • In a small saucepan, combine the first seven ingredients; add enough water just to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 55 minutes or until meat is tender.
2. • Meanwhile, in a small nonstick skillet, saute tomatillos and onion in oil until tender. Remove from the heat; stir in the chilies, cilantro, garlic, salt and pepper. Cool slightly. Process in a food processor or blender until pureed. Transfer to a small bowl; cover and refrigerate until serving.
3. • Remove meat from saucepan. Strain liquid, reserving onion mixture. When meat is cool enough to handle, shred with two forks. Combine onion mixture and meat; divide between tortillas. Fold sides and ends over filling and roll up; secure with toothpicks.
4. • In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Cook chimichangas until golden brown, turning to cook all sides. Drain on paper towels. Serve with salsa verde.
