SHREDDED BEEF OR PORK CHIMICHANGAS
This is the one recipe everybody asks me for. This recipe is an all day project. It is well worth the effort. If you have a large freezer, you'd probably fill it up with these. The kids can eat these when they come home from school, a quick dinner when you don't feel like cooking, etc. When I tripled this recipe I started at 10am and finished around 6pm. I made about 60 of these. I roll up the sleeves and make these about twice a year. There is always a family gathering on the night they come out fresh. Bet you can't eat just one!

PORK AND GREEN CHILI CHIMICHANGAS
These pork chimichangas are delicious and easy to make. I have been perfecting this recipe for the past 15 years. They are baked, instead of deep fried. This recipe makes 10 entree size or 18 lunch sized chimis. They are also an economical choice with only 7 common ingredients. You will love the flavor of these.

Steps:
- Cut pork butt into 1" cubes. Place cut pork into large dutch oven, cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Uncover, stir and continue cooking until meat is well browned and juices are almost gone. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Then add water to pan, enough to cover meat completely. Turn heat up to high and cook until water boils, then cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- While meat is cooking, prepare the flour tortillas. Spread a light amount of butter on both sides of each tortilla, set aside in a pile. When you are done buttering them, cover with the plastic bag they came in, so they will remain pliable.
- Spray a 13" x 9" baking dish with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- When timer is done for the pork, uncover and turn heat up to high. Cook over high heat until all the water is gone from the pan. When that is done, reduce heat to low and add crushed oregano leaves, cumin, salt, pepper, vinegar and diced green chiles. Stir well and then turn heat off.
- Shred the meat using to large forks.
- Set your oven to 500 degrees.
- To assemble each chimichanga: Place 3-4 tablespoons of meat mixture on lower 3rd of tortilla, spoon meat mixture to within a 1/2″ of each side of tortilla. Then take left side and fold over meat, do the same on right side, like the top flap of an envelope. Then roll up towards 12 o'clock while keeping sides overlapping the filling just slightly.
- Depending on the size of your tortillas it may take two turns, set them seam side down on a baking sheet. Once they are all in the pan, spread butter on the tops of the chimichangas.
- Then bake in oven on middle rack at 500 degree for 6-8 minutes.
- Depending on your oven, start checking the chimi's after 6 minutes. You want them golden brown and delicious.
- Remove from oven and serve with freshly made guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo.
- Cooks Notes: Depending on the size of your flour tortillas and whether you want to make 'Entree' or 'Lunch' size chimichangas, this recipe will make up to 18 chimi's. If you use 3 tablespoons of filling in each you will get 18 smaller, or skinnier, chimichangas.
ALMOST-FAMOUS CHIMICHANGAS
It has happened to all of us: A restaurant closes and just like that, a favorite dish is gone forever. For thousands of fans of the Tex-Mex chain Chi-Chi's, which shuttered its last 65 restaurants in 2004, that dish was the chimichanga: a big tortilla stuffed with beef, seafood or chicken, lettuce, jack cheese and salsa, and topped with a secret "zesty Mexi-sauce." We've seen endless message- board posts from fans pondering the recipe and reminiscing about that unforgettable topping. Now they can taste it again: Chefs in Food Network Kitchens re-created the old favorite from memory.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Melt the butter with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet; transfer to a bowl. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the skillet. Add the onion, garlic and jalapeno and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, cinnamon and 1 teaspoon salt; toast 30 seconds. Add the tomato and cilantro and cook until slightly dry, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken and sour cream and warm through. Remove from the heat.
- Brush a rimmed baking sheet with some of the butter-oil mixture. Spread 2 tablespoons refried beans down the center of each tortilla, leaving a 2-inch border on both ends. Top with 1 cup chicken mixture and 1/4 cup cheese. Fold in the ends and roll up.
- Put the chimichangas seam-side down on the baking sheet; brush with the butter-oil mixture. Bake 8 to 10 minutes per side, brushing again after you flip. Top with the sauce, more cheese, lettuce and tomato. Serve with rice and the remaining beans.
- Saute onions and garlic cloves in a skillet with vegetable oil. Add a pinch each of chili powder, cumin, sugar and salt; cook 30 seconds. Stir in green chiles; cook 2 minutes. Add chicken broth and simmer until thickened, then puree. Stir in cilantro.
PORK CHIMICHANGAS
Once upon a time in Tucson, Arizona (somewhere between the 1920's and 1950's) a burrito was dropped into a fryer, giving birth to the beloved chimichanga. Perhaps it was an accident or this Tex-Mex reinvention was intentional. Either way, we're happy our version with braised pork, homemade green sauce and Cheddar exists.

Steps:
- Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pork, coriander, cumin, garlic and salt and pepper, and cook, turning as needed, until the pork is brown, about 15 minutes. Pour in 8 ounces of the beer and the vinegar, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Cover and braise over medium-low heat until the pork is fork tender and the liquid just covers the bottom of the pot, about 45 minutes. Remove the pork, keeping the remaining braising juices in the pot. Let cool and shred. Add the pork back into the pot and set aside.
- Combine the tomatillos, almonds, chipotles, onion, cilantro, the remaining 4 ounces beer and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a blender. Puree until smooth.
- Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil in a large, straight-sided skillet over medium heat and add the tomatillo mixture. Cook, stirring frequently to prevent the bottom from burning, until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Take care, the sauce will splatter as it cooks. Pour the green sauce into the pork and toss to combine.
- Fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot with about 4 inches of oil, attach a deep fat fry thermometer and heat to 375 degrees F.
- Lay a tortilla out on a work surface. Put 1/4 cup of the cheese across the center of the tortilla. Top with about 3/4 cup of the pork and spread evenly. Roll into burritos by folding the bottom half of the tortilla over the pork and cheese filling, and then folding the 2 sides in. Roll up and secure with 2 toothpicks. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese and pork.
- Fry the burritos in batches, turning as needed, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the toothpicks and serve the chimichangas with guacamole, pico de gallo and sour cream.

PULLED PORK CHIMICHANGAS
I love a good chimichanga because they are so versatile. You can use pork, chicken, beef, or no meat at all. Add to that some refried beans, maybe some corn, or whatever you fancy. Then fry or bake, serve with some sides and sauce, and there you go. I had some leftover pork from a smoker job I did on Thursday, so mine will be...

Steps:
- 1. Chef's Note: The origin of the chimichanga is still up for debate. My favorite is: A chef at a Mexican restaurant in Tucson, accidentally dropped a pastry into a deep fat fryer in 1922.

CHIMICHANGAS
Though still debated, Tucson is generally credited as the original home of the chimichanga (fried "burro", as we call them, stuffed with meat, onions and chiles). I've combined several recipes into this one, and it's fairly authentic. -Laura Towns, Glendale, Arizona
