Beef Chimichangas filled with a ground beef/refried bean mixture seasoned with chili powder, cumin, and oregano, rolled up and fried until crispy, and covered with cheese and jalapeno tomato sauce tastes so much better than restaurant chimichangas. They are sure to be a family favorite.

 

In fact, this is the recipe my son requests more than any other. I don’t make these Beef Chimichangas often since they are fried, but every now and then I’ll make them when we are craving some Mexican food, but it’s not a convenient night to go out to eat.
 
Plus, cooking chimichangas at home is much more economical than going out to eat.
 

Beef Chimichangas Recipe Tips:
Sometimes I make the filling and sauce ahead of time and then all that is left to do is roll them up and fry them. Super easy meal. If you don’t want to deep-fry these chimichangas, spray them with oil and air fry them until golden and crispy or you can bake them at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes.
Serve with this Mexican Rice for a meal that rivals any Mexican restaurant.
