Beef and Bean Chimichangas

We had ripe avocados that needed to be used up so I decided to make fresh guacamole and serve it on top of homemade ground beef and bean chimichangas. This meal was extremely easy to make and tasted fantastic. I loved the sharp cheddar with the beef and bean mixture inside of the crisp tortilla. I never fry my chimichangas I either bake them or cook them in a skillet with cooking spray. They are so flavorful, crisp and delicious without being greasy. My husband, daughter and I loved these chimichangas. My son opted for nachos with the beef and bean mixture and was completely thrilled with his dinner.
