Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons low-sodium taco seasoning
  • 1 (15.5-oz) can low-sodium kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons fat-free sour cream
  • 6 whole wheat burrito-size tortillas
  • 1 ½ cups reduced-fat shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Preheat medium nonstick sauté pan on medium-­‐high for 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pan; add ground beef, cumin, and Mexican seasoning. Brown 5–7 minutes, stirring to crumble meat, or until no pink remains. Stir in beans and sour cream; remove from heat and set aside.
    2. Place each tortilla on flat surface. Sprinkle ¼ cup cheese down center of each tortilla; add ½ cup beef mixture over cheese. Fold two sides in towards the middle; then roll tortilla from end to end.
    3. Coat baking sheet with cooking spray; place chimichangas seam side down; coat with cooking spray. Bake 12–15 minutes or until tops are browned and crispy. Serve.
