Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In large skillet, combined meat, salsa, beans, undrained chilies, and seasoning mix. Cook and stir over medium heat until heated through.
  3. In second skillet, heat tortillas, one at a time, about 30 seconds per side. For each burrito/chimichanga, place 1/3 cup meat mixture atop a tortilla, near one edge. Top with a cheese stick. Fold sides in, roll up starting with cheese side. Wrap individually in foil.

For chimichangas: Unwrap and place on baking sheet, bake additional 10 minutes until tortillas are crisp - OR - fry in 1/4 oil in large fry pan, turning and cooking until golden and crisp.
  6. To prepare from thawed, reduce initial baking time to 30 minutes.
  7. Serve with toppings of your choice: sour cream, guacamole, diced green onions, salsa or shredded cheese.
