Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins Ready Time: 30 mins


• 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.
• pour enough canola oil into a saucepan to reach about 1 inch deep; heat to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c).
• arrange tortillas on a flat surface; place halves of cheese slices end to end lengthwise 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.
