Chimichangas – Becky

  • Steak (cheep stuff is fine) (we have also used pork and chicken)
  • Italian Dressing about 1/4 of the amount of salsa used
  • Salsa cover the meat with the salsa

Cut meat in thin strips cover in salsa and add about 1/4 of the amount of Italian Dressing as you did salsa. So if you do 1 cup of salsa add about 1/4 cup dressing. Soak in dressing and salsa overnight in the fridge. Cook in crock pot all day.

Put in flour tortillas with cheese and deep fry. Serve with lettuce and sour cream.

Or just serve with flour tortillas not fried as a burrito.

Also good served on potatoes, rice, or pasta.
