Crispy Oven Baked Beef Chimichangas with Tomato Salsa and Sour Cream

Chimichangas are typically made with a flour tortilla and a savoury filling such as mince, shredded meat, beans, cheese and spices. The tortilla is folded and deep-fried until golden and crispy. We have opted for a healthier option, baking the chimichangas in the oven instead. These chimichangas are filled with a delicious beef, cheesy filling, baked in the oven until golden and crispy, then topped with sour cream and a fresh zesty, spicy salsa.

Our vegetables and fruit come as fresh as can be, so please give them a quick wash before you get started.

As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...

Deepsided Pan
Oven Tray

Step 1

1 Prepare Ingredients

Preheat oven to 210°C. Peel and dice onion. Dice tomato. Remove and discard husks and silks of corn cobs, and cut in half. Dice capsicum, removing seeds. Cut lime into wedges. Pick coriander leaves and dice, discarding stems. Dice jalapeno.

Step 2

2 Make Filling

Heat a deep sided pan on medium high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add capsicum and 34 of the onion (reserving the rest for salsa), cook for about 3 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning, cook for 1 minute. Add mince, cook for 5 minutes until brown and cooked through, breaking the mince up with the spoon or spatula. Turn heat off and set aside.

Step 3

3 Prepare Sweet Corn & Salsa

Wrap sweet corn in foil, topped with butter and season with salt and pepper. Cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes (alternatively you can BBQ the corn). For salsa, mix together tomato, remaining onion (to taste), coriander, jalapeno (see note) and lime juice from 1-2 wedges of lime.

Step 4

4 Fold Chimichangas

Stir cheese into the mince filling. Divide filling between tortillas, placing filling into the centre of the tortilla. Fold opposite sides over the filling and roll up like a burrito. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas.

Step 5

5 Bake Chimichangas

Place chimichangas on a lined baking tray. Spray or brush with oil and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until brown and crispy.

Step 6

6 You Plate It!
