CHIMICHANGAS | Homemade Beef and Cheese Chimichangas Recipe

[@tinyc6334]

Stright to the point that is what keeps me coming back!!

[@michaelflores9778]

I was introduced to making Chimichangas in 1981/82 by a cook who made them at a Mexican restaurant. These were the large ones 14 inch tortilla, beans, ground beef, and cheese, and deep fried. Served with sour cream n guacamole and never drenched with sauces or queso. Very good stuff, thanks for sharing!!

[@donaldwalls8568]

Ok that does it, I'm going to buy the house next door to you. You should start a bed and dinner. Love your videos.

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

[@craigyale2623]

I know when they were crunching on that thing I was so hungry

[@eyesofthegoddess2967]

At 1:22 when she is breaking up the ground beef, Did you notice how it is nice and pink on the outside but inside it's full of dull gray colored meat? It's a trick a lot of supermarkets use, when the ground beef turns grey/brownish they cover it with a thin layer of fresh pink colored ground beef and rewrap it. Also when steaks turn grey/brown they just open the package flip the steak over pink side up and rewrap them. (My brother works in the meat dept at Krogers 30 + years, he says don't buy prepackaged steaks always asked them to cut you new ones). P.S. Discolored meats are not necessarily bad for you, but they're just not as fresh as pink meat which sells faster.

[@estheresch3989]

Loncho Ours don’t even cut meat anymore it’s all pre-packaged and shipped in. No getting it freshly cut anymore.

[@loncho5079]

@ShrapkiN that too? they're all full of tricks arn't they

Im from the netherlands and in love with Mexican food i see on tv so im making nachos and chinichangas this week for the first time i wanne make my own refried beans & use 1 portion for the nachos and 1 for the chimichangas (i cant buy them so i have to soak my own black beans o ordered online ) i love your instructions and how you show diff methods.. i for sure will make the smooth avocado dip (without cilantro, i can't eat that cus it taste like soap 2 me) but mabye add pickled jalapeno i cant wait to see my fam try them i will 4 sure subscribe for more real home cooked mexican recipes i love the way you explain things

[@8ullfrog]

I love showing your recipes to my mom, and it's funny how at the end you brought up the wet debate. She likes the wet style, like with covered enchiladas, but last time I made them crunchy like your family likes, and she gave the "not bad" look, her highest praise. I never thought about putting some aside in the freezer, and I'm definitely going to use that.

[@MMA_Latina]

I’m jealous of your husband 🤣 I love your recipes!!! Keep them coming 😍

[@LandNfan]

I did something like this at lunch today. I had some frozen leftover Stromboli filling but no sub rolls and didn’t want the trouble of making a batch of pizza dough. What I did have was two large flour tortillas, so they became Strombo-Chimis. Pretty good, if I do say so.

[@sherrieanorman2816]

Sounds good. I haven't a clue how to make that but it does sound good.

[@bunkie2100]

This is what being a good cook is really about, working with what you have. I’d eat a Srombo-Chimi in a New York minute!

[@jarendagarner9488]

Another delicious recipe. I love how much your husband enjoys your food.

[@guanacom977]

If you warm the tortillas up a little before you wrap them up, they'll hold a little better and will be easier to work with. Love your channel!!

[@rmknicks]

I'll take the fried ones please. They look absolutely delicious!!!

[@judyayson]

Either way looks delish!!

[@arobare1]

Completely disregarding video and chucking these things in the deep fryer🤣

[@skygazer858]

And one of the baked ones as a chaser.

[@jhezzy]

Looks great. The avocado dip looks amazing. Your husband must be the happiest man in the world!

[@lindalongoriia1370]

I enjoyed looking at this video. Looks like I'm going to make chimichagas for dinner tomorrow. Thanks so much.

[@1rdgrnnr]

im a big fan of chimichangas , I'm going to try both methods ,but I like the pan fried the best. .thanks for sharing

[@alistaircooke4059]

Yummmmmmy I eat beans almost everyday I'm half Mexican. I can live with beans and tortillas and my homemade salsa. I've never made chimichangas though. Good to watch, maybe I will now.

[@dianedominguez8409]

WOW!! Great job! I totally agree with you when it comes to the dipping part. I can’t stand soggy chimichangas.

[@woosa42]

I always rub a little water around the outside edges of the tortilla so that it will stick to itself. Never had a problem with them coming undone. These chimichangas look tasty. Thank you for the cooking lesson.

[@azlibra7178]

They will stick better with a slurry of a/p flour & water (make a paste). This works better to close the tortillas that don’t look “homemade” ie: Mission Brand. I find for me the store bought ones that look more “homemade” & not fluffy/commercial looking stick to themselves better. That slurry works good on this fluffy/commercial type ones.😁

[@sclmb]

OMG, this looks insanely delicious! Good on you for ignoring the critics and serving it your own way. Food is love, not doctrine.

[@rebekahlopiccolo629]

Absolutely beautiful! My Mama use to make these nice and crunchy when I was little. Most people serve them wet, but I am NOT a wet burrito fan. LOL. I'm going to try your recipe! Thank you for sharing! Made me happy cry with the memories, and my longing for a good dry recipe. Thank you again. 🥹 GOD BLESS!

[@ChelSierra_Remly]

Mom tied her burritos with a string when she deep fried them. Then cut the string off to serve. I love my Chimichangas with cheese on top and covered with chili. Yum.

[@jenniferdas7809]

Watching how crunchy they were was pretty tantalizing! How yummy!

[@windella]

If you heat the tortillas a little, it becomes more playable, make it easy to fold. These look yummy! The avocado sauce sounds great, must make that soon!

[@rosalindarivera9816]

I have been following your channel for over a year now. I appreciate you for your wonderful recipes and I enjoy how you explain the process of making your recipes. Thanks a million from down southwest Texas.

[@ATXRoach]

I love this recipe. I too prefer a chimichanga that isn't smothered with sauce. I love the crunch. This salsa you made is guud too.

[@jeanneschmidt491]

I love it when you tell us how to freeze and cook later. I am always looking for things I can freeze because I am cooking for one. Thank you for adding all of the tips and tricks!

[@cerveza2297]

Same 😎

[@terryrusselleverydayguy1613]

Just love watching the hubby eat.

[@MajBoot]

So I just made this a few mins ago. Although I don’t eat beef I had some Elk burger in the fridge. It was phenomenal!!!!!! This will be my next meal for my next hunting adventure!!! Thanks Mama!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[@keanumafnas6533]

Used this recipe for my christmas party and it was a HIT. Friends kept raving about the sauce. thank you foresting this .

[@johnclark7035]

I made this one night ago. The family already wants it again next week. I have made some of your other recipes and the family Appreciates you breaking up our dull menu.

[@dianejohanson98]

Looks really good and simple to make. I’m making these. Thanks for the video.

[@catboyzee]

My wife loves chimichangas from our fave Mexican restaurant. I'm gonna use these tips to make some at home. Thanks for posting.

[@aw6099]

I made these with some leftovers, served it with a salad and some leftover rice. So simple, so quick, so delicious. Thanks for the recipe I definitely liked it.

[@LydiaApril]

Love how you make everything so easy to follow along and simple! 💜

[@IvysKitchen]

OMG I love chimichangas! Thank you for showing the differences b/w baked and fried.

[@racheljohn145]

When I saw your husband, I was like aww man he gets to eat all of that goodness. I was so jealous at that point of the video.

[@dwaynekelley7119]

I do agree , I like them nice and crunchy taste better that way.

[@oseroz6177]

i love it, i know what i'm gonna cook tonight, you teach a french chef how to do that, no missing part and honest regarding the difference between deep fry and hoven... thanks a lot

[@jesus7for7me7]

The CRUNCH sounds amazing 😋😋

[@jdaniels7449]

After many failed attempts to keep them from unraveling, I began to tie them with cotton string. Problem solved. Now I buy uncooked flour tortillas, wrap and tie with string prior to dropping them in my deep fryer. Uncooked tortillas really cook up nicely. Now if I just had a seasoning combination I loved I would have a home run. Gonna try this recipe real soon.

[@mariahreed5102]

Made these tonight, one with turmeric & chicken fajita seasoning, and one with your mix, and I am in love. Great tips about how to fry them too! I was super prepared! Thank you :)

[@SuziFranks]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom in authentic food I've been munching away on your delicious recipes 😁

I just made these cheesy beef chimichangas for my family and it was a hint. They went in for seconds lol. Thanks again for your awesome recipes.

that crunch at the end just made my mouth water!

[@MrsElTee-o1w]

I love your recipes and the way you cook for your family. I make Mexican dish using your recipes coz I know they are simple, practical and yummy to picky kids. I'll leave the complicated, everything made from scratch Mexican dish to restaurants and a big margarita on the rocks too! Thanks! Please continue to share your recipes.

[@teresaregalado9813]

I LOVE how you can use your leftovers to create a new meal! I have charro beans in my frig right now; I'm gonna try your recipe for tomorrow's dinner. Thanks for the idea!

[@jlobaido8000]

I liked your simple explanations. I lived most of my life in Tucson and OMG, I miss the little mexican restaurants on every other street corner. I had to teach myself how to make tortillas, refried beans and the mexican rice. Chimichangas are easy..or so I have always thought so. Thank you and I subscribed

[@t5dagreat]

I love both your chimichanga recipes, but That avocado dip puts it over the top! I can't wait to try this, especially with the refried beans. Gracias!

[@cathym5987]

Perfect! These will do nicely for dinner tomorrow’. I’m currently in a cooking slump with 3 picky eaters lol Thanks! 😊

[@kobayashimaru65]

Wow, both the fried and baked chimichangas look great! I have to admit, I think I would like the fried better. 😉

[@lindsaybynum9239]

Mmm. That crunch from your Hubby at the end. That’s where it’s at! Perfect 👍🏻, Anjelica. Thanks for sharing your passion for providing great food for your family and multiple options for your audience/viewers. ❤️

Love all your recipes thank you I like how you make everything so simple and it’s delicious I see your husband loves your cooking 🥰

[@drwgisblaidd2650]

The one you said was burned, and overcooked, was actually the one that made me drool, I want it! I get tortillas from a company out of Mexico, called La Tahona, nice and thin and really just great Tortillas!

[@mickeyblue2647]

You made me hungry and it's 2 in the morning, I have to try this recipe, thank you for sharing this video with us.

"Kudos" for Me!!! I made the Chimichangas and Yummy! Crunchy and delicioso! With mexican rice on the side! Thanks for your easy recipes! Kudos for you too! 🙌🎉🎆🎇💕😄

[@jodicanada1892]

I was in college in Corpus Christi the first time I had a chimichanga.. campus cafeteria. They served them with a red sauce poured over after frying. I fell in love ! I love creamy guacamole .. I'm definitely trying this recipe very soon. Thank you :D

[@suannedorman621]

That looked and sounded yummy! You made that look easy. I'm gonna try.

[@kimberlyfaubion-boulanger9027]

I'm making this tonight. I can't wait. I've been wanting to make these ever since I saw this video for the first time. I make several of your recipes and love them all. I have made the creamy green salsa 3 times including today for tonight's dinner. Thank you a thousand times for all of your great recipes and techniques! Myself and my family utilize them and will do so going forward. Much love, from Washington state ♡

[@h.collier3544]

Fabulous. Thanks for sharing. I want to try this.

[@marisolrodriguez1305]

Made theses today! Super great recipe! Thank you!

[@m.b.3610]

I adore a good Chimi. My first chimi was in Phoenix at a restaurant called 'Georges Ole'. I was maybe 10 or 11 years old which was 55 years ago. It was a Red Chile Burro deep-fried then topped with a red sauce, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and a big dollop of Guacamole and Sour Cream. That's the benchmark I use for any Chimi. Georges Ole moved to Scottsdale and renamed to 'Aunt Chiladas'. The restaurant is located in Scottsdale (I think). Now when I make a chimi or any burro I want crispy, instead of fryong in oil I toast the chimi and spread butter on the tortilla once it's stuffed and place it on a hot griddle until it's toasted then add my toppings. Now that I live in northern VA for the past 32 years and there's no good Mexican restaurants like what I've found in AZ I just wait until my trip home to AZ or when I see my friends in NV or CA and indulge. 😁

[@riverbetty69]

I NEED YOUR HANDS, I went to war with my chimichangas it was hard for me to assemble yours are PERFECT ! TFS

[@wildwoodla7450]

I had to come back & comment again! I made these last night & watched your video while cooking & OMG, they were perfect!!! I've never rolled them so nicely before or fried them. It was all I could do not to want to eat them for like the next week, breakfast, lunch, dinner 😂 (I made them to freeze). I love your seasonings here even better than your taco seasoning mix. This says so much about your cooking talents, but also your teaching tecniques. You are THE best, thank you so much for doing what you do. I've learned so much from you! Mine came out just like yours & can't tell you how shocked I was that I actually did it, ha! One question though. How do you fry them from frozen? Thaw first I guess?

[@VintageMale]

I made these today and they were wicked delicious! (I'm from New England and wicked means awesome ;-) I would use a smaller tortilla next time, as the ones I bought were marked Burrito size, but they were much too big to get 8 servings. I made 7 and they were a little skimpy on the filling. They measure 10 inches across, I think I would prefer 8 inches. I also used a beaten egg applied with a pastry brush to seal the seam, and it worked great, it sealed them nice and tight! Not a single one of them opened up or even lifted. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@tretmizz5656]

Looks delicious! I’ll have to give this a try. Thanks for the great video!! :)

[@wildwoodla7450]

How timely, just ran out of frozen chimi's & am making more today! Last time I used your taco seasoning mix in the ground beef, it was soooo good, thanks! I usually air fry them from frozen, but I am going to try your frying method tonight & love the crunch too! Your hubby is so cute loving on your chimi's 😂 Here's another method for keeping the tortilla closed. I wish I could remember where I found the vid to give the guy credit - he filmed in a restaurant kitchen making rolled & fried tacos. Anyway, mix flour & water to a thickish consistency & dab a little on the end of the tortilla like glue, pressing to seal closed. Yuck, right, but works like a charm & you can't taste it at all, would never know it's even in there. So far, have never had one unroll while banging around in the air fryer.

[@kgreg1956]

8:45 that toothpick trick is extremely helpful. I use a deep fryer and I used to hold each inside the fryer with tongs. Using the toothpicks to seal them let's me put 2-3 inside the fryer at a time 😁
