Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 15 ounce, drained and rinsed canned black beans
- 10 ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup, shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper, mixing well.
Add the black beans and diced tomatoes with green chilies, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon about 1/6th of the beef and bean mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll them up from bottom to top, securing the filling inside.
Place the chimichangas seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush each one with the remaining olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chimichangas from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with shredded lettuce, a dollop of salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Dairy-Free Beef and Bean Chimichangas!
