These beef and cheese wraps feature a crunchy, golden shell stuffed with flavorful ground beef and a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. The beef gets its kick from sautéed onions, fresh garlic, and zesty taco spices that create layers of authentic Mexican flavor. After folding everything together and popping them in the oven, you’ll get that amazing crunch outside and warm, gooey filling inside that rivals any restaurant version. They’re super simple to make with basic ingredients you probably already have in your pantry right now.
I whipped up these chimichangas when I wanted something healthier than what restaurants serve but still craved that satisfying crunch and melty cheese combination. The baking method worked so well that we’ve made it our end-of-week tradition, where everyone gathers around the kitchen to load up their favorite toppings and share stories from the week.
