For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef mixture. You can use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas if preferred, but the baking time may need to be adjusted. Prepare the beef filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for a faster weeknight meal. For extra flavor, sprinkle a little extra cheese on top of the chimichangas before baking. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.

01 Step
Recipe View Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion and minced garlic. Break the beef into crumbles as it cooks. Add taco seasoning and oregano, stirring to combine. Cook until beef is no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Drain off any excess fat.

Recipe View Stir in sour cream, chopped green chilies, and white vinegar until well mixed. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese until melted and combined.

Fold in the right and left sides of the tortilla over the filling. Then, fold the top and bottom over to create an envelope shape, completely enclosing the filling.

07 Step
Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes.
