Pretty well any savoury mixture works with this, or just use leftover paella. If you’re going to cook something especially, try this....

Minced beef, onion, garlic, tomatoes, chillies, cinnamon & cumin

Chop all your incidentals – onion, garlic, chillies, cumin and cinnamon - Tip – use whole cumin seeds and chop them up as you need them for that typically amazing Mexican taste, also measure out about twice as much as you need as they fly all over the place when you try to chop them


Heat some olive oil in a large frying pan and zap the beef....

....then add the onion & garlic....

....and the chillies, cumin & cinnamon.

Add some chopped & skinned tomatoes....

....and you should have something like this


Spoon some of the mixture into a flour tortilla....

....fold one edge over....

....followed by the opposite edge....

....fold one end over....

....and secure with a cocktail stick....

....same with the other end.

Repeat with the other tortillas.

Fry the chimichangas in vegetable oil....

....a couple at a time.

¡Hey amigo! – ¿muy sabroso, no?


Eat the chimichangas and bin the salad
