Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!
I’m pretty much the easiest person to talk into having a party, and thanks to my friend Jen, from Juanita’s Cocina, this week’s hostess for our #SundaySupper bash, I also know that “Cinco de Mayo is a celebration which commemorates the victory of the Mexicans over the French in the Battle of Puebla”.
This week the #SundaySupper crew is going all out out to share their best drinks, appetizers, entrees, and sweet desserts to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in style! Our whole family loves Mexican flavors, so I am kicking off the list this week with my
Oven Baked Beef, Bean, and Cheese Chimichangas!
Last year, Baby and I were one of the first in line for our free #CincodeMoes tshirts. Not sure what we will be doing this year to celebrate, but you can be sure there will be Mexican food.
I found this recipe in my weekly eMeals email update, and knew I had to try it. The dish is super easy, and I liked that I could modify to original recipe, and tailor it to my family’s flavor preferences. The original recipe calls for frying the chimichangas, but I decided to bake them to save on the mess, as well as calories. I would rather use the calories for more cheese.
I also tend to modify the ratio of beef to refried beans, basically sneaking them in the dish. Combined with the melted cheese, the beans add a creamy texture to the inside that everyone thinks is delicious, but can’t pinpoint why. Mexican is so great to top with fresh ingredients. Anything goes in my opinion. If you like it in a taco, throw it on top of these chimichangas, or eat them plain, both ways are simply delicioso!
So get ready to get your party on and check out all the amazing recipes being shared this week!

I’ve never had chimichangas, but these look amazing
We went to Moe’s today, but didn’t get a t shirt. Obviously I love this recipe. I’m a chimichanga lover.
The t-shirts were from last year’s promo. I don’t think they did it again this year. Each store distributed to the first 100 guests in line. 🙂

I’m loving the cheesy goodness on top of these! They look fantastic!

I love that you baked the chimichangas instead of frying them. They look amazing!

Yum! Looks like the perfect thing to make a big batch of and eat all week.
Never made a chimichanga!! What fun and how delicious does this look!!
I haven’t had these in years. Thanks for reminding me about them, Karen!

Mmmmm…..I can’t stop drooling over these delicious chimichangas, Karen! I love how adaptable Mexican food is too. I’d throw some cilantro and green onions on top (and probably add more cheese because you can never have enough) and I’d be in heaven.
