Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 8-10 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the beef mixture cool slightly. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon an equal amount of the beef and cheese mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito shape.
Place the chimichangas seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, add some diced jalapeños to the beef mixture. You can also substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef if you prefer. For a vegetarian version, try using black beans and corn in place of the meat. If you want to add a touch of sweetness, a sprinkle of cinnamon in the beef mixture can offer a delightful contrast. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack, to find your perfect flavor combination
