Recipe Summary Cheesesteak Chimichanga
This dish combines two great favorites. It's a chimichanga with a delicious cheesesteak filling on the inside. Serve warm with ranch dressing for dipping.Ingredients | Cheesesteak Quesadilla1 tablespoon butter1 cup sliced green bell pepper1 onion, chopped1 pound shredded cooked beef2 cups canola oil for frying, or as needed4 large flour tortillas4 slices Swiss cheese, halvedDirectionsMelt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir bell pepper and onion in hot butter until onion is translucent and pepper is tender, about 5 minutes. Add beef; cook and stir until the beef is hot, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat.Pour enough canola oil into a saucepan to reach about 1 inch deep; heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).Arrange tortillas on a flat surface; place halves of cheese slices end to end lengthwise onto each tortilla. Layer an equal amount of steak mixture atop each cheese slice. Roll tortilla around filling as you would a burrito, with the sides tucked in to close the ends, forming chimichangas.Cook chimichangas in the hot oil until browned completely, about 5 minutes per side; drain on paper towels.Be sure the oil is properly heated so the tortillas will brown without soaking up excess oil. Or brush the tortillas with a small amount of butter and bake in the oven at 375 for about 5 minutes per side, until browned and crisp.Alternative cooking method: If you prefer to not fry the chimichangas, brush the tortillas with a small amount of melted butter and bake at 375 until browned and crisp.Info | Cheesesteak Quesadillaprep:
