Spray lightly with cooking spray or brush with canola oil.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Tortillas First 🌯
Lightly warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet for 10-15 seconds per side before filling to make them pliable and prevent sogginess when baked.
Seal the Edges Properly 🔐
Place seam-side down on your baking sheet and brush the folded edges with a thin layer of oil or melted butter to ensure they crisp up and stay sealed during baking.
Season Your Beef Mixture Generously 🧂
Build layers of flavor by seasoning the cooked beef with cumin, chili powder, and garlic before mixing with the other fillings rather than relying solely on hot sauce.
Don't Overstuff Your Chimichangas 🎯
Fill tortillas with approximately 1/3 cup of mixture to prevent leaking and ensure even cooking; overstuffed chimichangas tear and cook unevenly.
Bake at High Heat for Crispiness 🔥
Bake at 400-425°F for 15-20 minutes to achieve a golden, crispy exterior without drying out the filling, checking halfway through for even browning.
