Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the black beans, corn, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for another 5-7 minutes until heated through and the flavors have melded. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
-
Heat a separate large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Warm each tortilla for about 20-30 seconds on each side to soften them.
-
Place a spoonful of the black bean and corn mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
-
To fold the chimichangas: Fold the bottom of the tortilla over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly into a burrito shape.
-
In a clean skillet, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom and heat it over medium heat. Carefully place the chimichangas, seam side down, in the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Repeat until all chimichangas are cooked, adding more oil as needed.
-
Once cooked, remove the chimichangas from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
-
Serve warm chimichangas with your favorite toppings such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Enjoy your delicious homemade Black Bean and Corn Chimichangas!
