I'm always on the lookout for new Mexican recipes. This one looks really good.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
2 large onions, chopped
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
12 flour tortillas
vegetable oil
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
2 cups monterey jack cheese, divided
shredded lettuce
chopped tomato
sour cream (optional)
guacamole (optional)
Directions:
1. In a skillet, cook beef and onions over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in garlic salt and pepper.
2. Warm the tortillas; brush one side with oil. Spoon 1/4 cup of beef mixture off center on oiled side of tortillas. Top with 1 tablespoon each of salsa, cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. Fold up edge nearest filling; fold in both sides and roll up. Secure with toothpicks; place in a greased 13x9x2 inch baking dish. Brush with oil.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 450* for 10 - 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses. Bake 2-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
4. To serve, place chimichangas on a bed of lettuce and tomato. Top with remaining salsa and sour cream and guacamole if desired.
