Baked Chimichangas

This is one of Josh's favorite meals, and I love it cause it's super duper easy peasy. 

Sometimes I just feel like rhyming twice in a row, ya know? 

What you'll need:

1lb ground beef
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1/2 cup green chilies
1/2 cup taco sauce
1/2 cup sour cream
1 Tbs. cider vinegar
Flour tortillas
Cheese


Brown the ground beef:

While it's browning, throw the sour cream, chilies, taco sauce and cider vinegar into a bowl:

Like so:

Add the spices and garlic. If we have salsa, I usually dump about 1/4 cup of that in there too. But it's good without it, too. 


Then add the ground beef. Drain it, first!
Mix it up!

Put about this much onto a flour tortilla: As you can see, I'm very technical with my measurements.


Put them into a pan...

Brush them with butter. Go all Paula Deen on those babies.

Well actually don't. That's unhealthy. But a little butter won't kill ya.


Put them in the oven at 400* for about 10 minutes, til golden. Then top with cheese. (We do half and half, cause I shouldn't really eat cheese.)


Stick them back in for about 5 minutes or so. (I usually turn the oven off and clean up the kitchen and to me, that means they are done then. :)


And there you go! Easy, yet yummy, dinner. :)


Enjoy!
