# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Warm up a large pan on medium heat, then brown the ground beef along with the diced onion. Once the beef is cooked through and the onion is tender, get rid of any extra grease.
02 -
Mix in the garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, plus salt and pepper. Stir it all around to coat the meat fully.
03 -
Keep the pan on low, add shredded cheddar cheese and salsa, then mix until the cheese melts, and everything’s combined. Take it off the burner after that.
04 -
Heat your tortillas a bit just enough to make folding them less tricky.
05 -
Pile a decent amount of the beef mixture in the middle of each tortilla. Fold the edges inward, and then roll them up tightly like you would a burrito.
06 -
Pour about an inch of vegetable oil into a big skillet and warm it up over medium-high heat.
07 -
Put the chimichangas seam-side down in the hot oil. Fry them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the outside turns nice and crispy with a golden color.
08 -
Move them to a paper towel to soak up the oil. Serve them hot, paired with toppings like sour cream, lettuce, or more salsa if you’d like.
