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:
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup sliced green bell pepper
1 onion, chopped
1 pound shredded cooked beef
2 cups canola oil for frying, or as needed
4 large flour tortillas
4 slices swiss cheese, halved
Directions:
1. Melt 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.
2. Pour enough canola oil into a saucepan to reach about 1 inch deep; heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. 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.
4. Cook chimichangas in the hot oil until browned completely, about 5 minutes per side; drain on paper towels.
