Ingredients

  • 1 Lb Ground Beef
  • 1 M Onion, I used a purple onion
  • 1 M Jalapeno, diced and deseeded Optional
  • 1 T Minced Garlic
  • 1 T Chili Powder
  • 2 t Cumin
  • 1 t Garlic Powder
  • 1 t Onion Powder
  • 1 t Salt
  • 1/2 t Black Pepper
  • 4-8 Low Carb Tortillas How Many Chimichangas you get is going to depend on the size of low carb tortillas you have. I used the biggest mission ones I could find. But there are bigger and smaller low carb tortillas.
  • 1-2 C Shredded Cheese Use whatever you have, I used cheddar
  • Oil to fry in, optional
  • Desired toppings

Instructions

  • In a skillet, over medium to medium high heat, brown your meat and veggies. Add your seasoning. I used low-fat meat, so I didn't have any grease.
  • Place a tortilla on your counter and add as much meat as you think the tortilla will hold without busting open.
  • Top with 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.
  • Serve with desired toppings and sides.
