Directions:
- Heat beef, pork and water to boiling in a large kettle; lower heat; cover.
- Simmer for about 1-1/2 hours.
- Drain meat and reserve 1 cup of the broth.
- Shred meat when cool enough to handle.
- Heat shortening or lard in a large saucepan.
- Add onion, 3/4 cup of the chilies and the garlic; saute for 1 minute.
- Stir in the flour, salt, cumin, reserved broth and shredded meat; cook until mixture is moist, but quite thick; (Add more chilies if you like it hotter).
- Keep meat mixture warm.
- Heat 1 tortilla on a large griddle or very large skillet over low heat until soft and pliable.
- Spread about 3/4 cup meat mixture over the lower third of the tortilla in a band about 4 long and 1 wide.
- Work quickly so that tortilla does not get crisp.
- Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over filling to cover it almost completely.
- Then fold the two sides in towards the center over the filling and start rolling the filling into a cylinder shape.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Heat 1/2 oil in a large skillet till very hot.
- Saute two chimchangas at a time in hot oil until golden brown, turning with two broad spatulas.
