CHIMICHANGAS...aka...FLAUTAS....is the way to go!
My mom had a restaurant and everyone who loves burritos
loved these even more. Real easy too.
Chicken (broiled) or meat, sauteed with onions, garlic and bell pepper
omit what you don't care for, ok.
Warm up a can of beans. Warm your large flour tortilla.
Spread the beans, then layer with your choice of meat.
Roll it real tight and pin it together with toothpicks.
In a large saucepan, fill it with vegetable oil (350*)
Submerge your FLAUTA till it is golden brown.
Top with sour cream, guacamole and a sprinkle of minced onion.
Tell me if those aren't just FABULOUS!!!

REFRIED BEANS
These are only fried once. The name is due to a mis-translation. In Castilian Spanish and English, the prefix re- indicates that something is done more than once. However, in Mexican Spanish, the prefix re- indicates that something is done well. As this dish is Mexican, its name, frijoles refritos, is in Mexican Spanish and translates into English as “well-fried beans” and not “twice-fried beans”.
Serves 2 - 3
INGREDIENTS
420g tin of baked beans
400g tin of red kidney beans
1 chilli pepper
1 onion
1 tablespoon of oil
FRESH CHILLI PEPPER WARNING!
When you chop up fresh chilli peppers be careful and avoid getting juice on your hands. If you touch your eyes, mouth or other ‘sensitive areas’, even an hour after chopping them, they will smart and burn. So wash your hands or wear rubber gloves.
METHOD
Open the tins of beans and drain off the water. Cut the top off the chilli pepper, cut it in half and scrape out the seeds, then chop it into pieces. Peel the onion and chop it into pieces.
Put the beans into a bowl. Add the chilli. Mix thoroughly.
If you have a food processor, put the beans and chilli in it and blend them to the desired consistency. If you have a hand blender, put the beans and chilli into a bowl and blend them to the desired consistency. If you don’t have a food processor or hand blender, put the beans and chilli into a bowl and use a potato masher or fork to mash them to the desired consistency. The desired consistency is like porridge or double cream. If required, add a little bit of water.
Put the oil into a frying pan on a medium heat. Add the onion. Fry the onion for about 5 minutes until it is soft. Stir frequently to stop them sticking.
Add the beans and chilli. Mix thoroughly. Fry for about 5 minutes. Stir frequently to stop it sticking.
ADDITIONS & ALTERNATIVES
Use dried beans, but these will need to be soaked and boiled first.
Use other beans, especially pinto beans, which are the authentic Mexican cowboy bean.
If you can’t find just one chilli pepper, use 1 teaspoon of chilli powder.
Add 2 rashers of bacon, chopped into 1cm (? inch) pieces, or 50g of chorizo, sliced, at the same time as the onions.
Add 1 teaspoon of ground cumin. Cumin comes from Asia, but the Spanish brought it with them to the New World, where it is now widely used in Tex-Mex cuisine.
Add 2 teaspoons of parsley, which is reputed to reduce the wind generating capacity of beans.
TIPS
Let it cool and reheat it, as the flavour of chilli improves with reheating.
