Talk about non-Bongo stuff. BUT KEEP IT CLEAN....there are children watching. Smut, filth, and anything offensive will not be tolerated and removed immediately.

Bored with Butties phase 27

Post by Muzorewa » Fri Jul 02, 2010 2:16 pm

Chimichangas are very easy to do, we perfected these during the time our oven at home had blown up so had to do all our cooking on the hob. They originate from the state of Sonora in the northwest of México where they are made with large, plate-sized tortillas which are a speciality of the region.

Pretty well any savoury mixture works with this, or just use leftover paella. If you’re going to cook something especially, try this....

Image
Minced beef, onion, garlic, tomatoes, chillies, cinnamon & cumin

Image
Chop all your incidentals – onion, garlic, chillies, cumin and cinnamon - Tip – use whole cumin seeds and chop them up as you need them for that typically amazing Mexican taste, also measure out about twice as much as you need as they fly all over the place when you try to chop them :lol:

Image
Heat some olive oil in a large frying pan and zap the beef....

Image
....then add the onion & garlic....

Image
....and the chillies, cumin & cinnamon.

Image
Add some chopped & skinned tomatoes....

Image
....and you should have something like this :wink:

Image
Spoon some of the mixture into a flour tortilla....

Image
....fold one edge over....

Image
....followed by the opposite edge....

Image
....fold one end over....

Image
....and secure with a cocktail stick....

Image
....same with the other end.

Image
Repeat with the other tortillas.

Image
Fry the chimichangas in vegetable oil....

Image
....a couple at a time.

Image
¡Hey amigo! – ¿muy sabroso, no? :wink:

Image
Eat the chimichangas and bin the salad :oops:

:idea: Don’t eat the cocktail sticks :idea:

Steady on, the cinnamon was from Asda and the cumin seeds from a really sad health-freaks shop called Unicorn. Unicorns are dead, appropriately enough :wink:

And the olive oil was bought from, erm, let me see, ah yes, Selfridges :^o :lol:
