Chimichangas

Original recipe from here.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 large diced bell pepper
  • 1 can whole kernel corn
  • 1 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 cups taco sauce
  • 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
  • 8 (12 inch) flour tortillas
  • Shredded cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted, or cooking spray

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Brown the ground meat in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease, and add the onion, bell pepper, corn and spices. Cook for about 5 more minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Stir in the taco sauce. Cook until heated through, then remove from heat, and set aside.
  3. Open the can of beans, and spread a thin layer of beans onto each of the tortillas. Spoon the beef mixture (less than you think) down the center, and then top with as much shredded cheese as you like. Roll up the tortillas, and place them seam-side down onto a baking sheet. Brush the tortillas with melted butter.
  4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
