Chimichanga Appetizers:

 

These can take some time to prepare. Depending on how you want to go about preparing them.

 

Left-overs work well. Store bought ingredients can be substituted. They can be made ahead of time then frozen.

 

Sauce:

 

***Make ahead of time; set aside.

 

1/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour

2 Tsp. Chicken Bouillon

1 Tsp. Chili Flakes

2 Tsp. Ground Cumin

2 Tsp. Onion Powder

1 Tsp. Garlic Powder

1 T. Paprika

2 Cups Water

Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

1 Pkg. Corn Tortillas Or Egg Roll Wrappers-(Store Egg Roll Wrappers Will Work)

 

Add all the dry ingredients to a medium sized saucepan. Mix it all up.

Slowly add the water to the mix.

 

Heat until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer. Adjust the seasonings if need be. If it's too thick additional water can be added.

Remove it from heat. Set aside.

 

 

Cooked and thinly sliced Beef Brisket or Sirloin Beef can be used. These were made using leftover 1/2 Sirloin Mesquite Smoked Roast.

Once it's sliced. it then needs to be shredded, fat removed then placed into a large saucepan.

 

Add 1 cup (to start with ) of the sauce to the meat. Heat on medium heat. You don't want this too saucy. Just enough for it to simmer.

 

Turn the heat down to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Mix it around to keep it from burning.

 

Remove it from the heat, covered. And let it come to room temp.

 

Warm up your Tortillas Or Egg Roll Wrappers, on a paper lined plate. Microwave for 1 minute. Just enough to make them pliable.

 

Spread 1 T. of the meat mixture to the bottom edge of the Corn Tortilla or Egg Roll Wrapper. Add some cheese. Roll up tight.

 

Place seam side down until your ready to cook them.

 

Deep fry @350 degrees for 3 to 5 minutes. Or until they float and are crispy.

 

***Or oven bake them on a cookie sheet seam side down at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until crisp.

 

Mix Sour Cream with Chopped Green Onions in a bowl and put on the side for dipping.
