    Cheese Steak Chimichangas Recipe

    Quick Notes

    • You can use left over grilled Carne asada meat to make these chimichangas.
    • Warm tortillas before wrapping them, I like to warm them in the skillet on a high heat for few seconds. It makes wrapping so much easier when tortillas are warm.
    • These chimichangas can be air fried too, brush them with melted butter before adding them to the air fryer, then air fry them for 8-10 minutes on 400F.
    • Air fry frozen chimichangas by wrapping them in foil and air frying them on on 400F for about 18-20 minutes.
