Low Carb Beef Chimichangas
Ingredients
- 1 Lb Ground Beef
- 1 M Onion, chopped
- 1 M Jalapeno, deseeded and diced Optional
- 1 T Minced Garlic
- 1 T Chili Powder
- 1 t Onion Powder
- 1 t Garlic Powder
- 2 t Ground Cumin
- 1 t Salt
- 1/2 t Black Pepper
- 4-8 Low Carb Tortillas How many chimichangas you get will depend on the size of your tortillas you have. I used the biggest mission tortillas I could find. But there are bigger tortillas than what I used.
- 1-2 C Shredded Cheese Use whatever cheese you have, I used cheddar
- Oil To fry the chimichangas in, optional
- Desired toppings
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium, to medium high heat, brown your meat and veggies. Add your seasonings. I used low-fat meat, so I didn't have any grease.
- Place a tortilla on you counter and add as much meat as you think the tortilla will hold without busting open.
- Top with the desired amount of cheese.
- Tuck the ends over the cheese/meat, stretch the tortilla that's closest to you over the cheese/meat and then roll/flip the filled tortilla over so the chimichanga is seam side down. In a skillet over medium heat place a little oil (just cover the bottom). When it is hot, place your chimichangas carefully in the oil and brown on each side. I have no pictures because I was moving too fast to take any.
- Top with desired toppings.
