These simple chimichangas are like fried meat and cheese burritos

1 can Rosarita zesty salsa refried beans

Chili powder, tobasco, garlic, salt, pepper, jalapeno juice to taste

1 package Large tortillas

Oil

Shredded cheese (any kind)

Preparation

Brown meat with seasonings. While meat is hot, add beans & mix well. Keep warm.


Warm tortillas so they're easier to work with. Spoon meat mixture into tortilla & add cheese on top of meat. Fold tortilla.


In a skillet, heat approx. 1/2 inch oil. Place tortilla in hot oil flap-side down; brown on all sides. Drain on a paper towel before serving.
