Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the refried beans, shredded cheddar cheese, diced onions, diced green chilies, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Place a few spoonfuls of the bean mixture in the center of a flour tortilla. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly, creating a secure seam.
-
In a large skillet, heat about an inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Carefully place the chimichangas seam side down into the hot oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
-
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chimichangas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
-
Serve the Easy Bean Chimichangas hot with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or chopped cilantro.
