  • For the filling: Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat and cook the onion until transparent, then add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper and cook for 6 minutes or until the meat starts to change color. Add the tomato, oregano, and cumin, cook for another 10 minutes, adjust the seasoning, remove from heat and let cool.
  • Prepare the chimichangas: Spread the center of a flour tortilla with the refried pinto beans, add some of the meat mixture, enough shredded manchego cheese, and pickled jalapeños to taste. Fold the tortilla like an envelope, starting with what would be the sides of the chimichanga, then roll tightly to ensure the ingredients don’t spill out; you can use a wooden toothpick for support.
  • Heat enough vegetable oil and fry the chimichangas over medium-low heat. Turn them slowly with the help of tongs so that each side of the chimichanga gets golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • Serve the chimichangas on a flat plate, accompany with pico de gallo and lemon to taste.
