Chimichanga Beef

Crispy, deep-fried tortillas filled with seasoned beef, beans, and cheese, topped with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. A deliciously indulgent Mexican favourite.

Ingredients

Ingredients (serve 4):

1 tablespoon olive oil

1kg chuck steak, cut into 2-3cm pieces

1 large brown onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves

1 tablespoon paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 cinnamon stick

1 red or green fresh chilli (optional), finely chopped

500-750ml (2-3 cups) beef stock

400g can red kidney beans, rinsed, drained

Sour cream, to serve

For the salsa:

250g cherry tomatoes, chopped

1 small green capsicum (bell pepper), seeded, cut into 5mm pieces

1 red onion, finely chopped

1 garlic clove, finely chopped

1 avocado, halved, stone removed, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

¼ teaspoon ground cumin

Chopped fresh basil

Chopped fresh mint

Instructions

Method:

Preheat oven to 160°C. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large heavy-based flameproof casserole dish over medium-high heat. Cook one-third of the beef for 3 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a plate.

Repeat with the remaining beef, in 2 more batches.

Heat the remaining oil in the dish over medium-low heat. Cook the onion, garlic, paprika and cumin, stirring often, for 4 minutes or until soft.

Add the beef, cinnamon and chilli, if desired, to the onion mixture. Add enough of the stock to cover. Transfer to the oven and bake for 3 hours.

Stir in the beans, if desired.

To make the salsa, combine the tomato, capsicum, onion, garlic, avocado, lime juice, oil and cumin in a bowl. Stir in the basil and mint.

Serve the beef with salsa and sour cream.
