Browning the Beef: In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary to keep the chimichangas from getting too greasy.
Flavoring the Beef: Stir in the taco seasoning and prepare according to package instructions. This will ensure your beef is bursting with flavor!
Assembling the Chimichangas: Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Add some of the beef mixture along with some shredded cheese in the center, making sure not to overfill it.
Folding the Tortilla: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, ensuring it’s snug to keep the filling inside while frying.
Heating the Oil: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. The right temperature is key for that perfect crispy exterior.
Frying the Chimichangas: Fry the chimichangas until golden brown and crispy on all sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!
Draining Excess Oil: Remove the chimichangas from the oil and drain them on paper towels to get rid of any excess oil and keep them crispy.
Final Serving: Serve hot with optional toppings like sour cream, salsa, or guacamole. Your guests will love customizing their own chimichangas!

For a healthier option, these can be baked instead of fried. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
