Chimichangas... Arizona Specialty:)

It seems like since we've moved here our "local" friends all have a good recipe for Chimichangas, so we've given it our best shot, and here is our 3rd attempt... All have been yummy and are pretty much not good for you at all, but we had to try:)

1 lb. pork, beef or chicken roast
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1 large can chopped green chilies
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 c. refried beans
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. ground cumin
2 T chili powder
1/2 t. cayenne pepper
1 C (4 oz) jack cheese

Add roast (or chicken), onion, pepper, chilies garlic and spices in crockpot on high for 4-6hrs (until easily shreds). Fold in refried beans and cheese. Set aside to cool.
Place 1/4 c. filling in center of large tortilla (we get ours at Carolina's 12/$3- hot and fresh and huge!) Fold into square and fasten with toothpicks, if necessary. Fry in 3/4 inches oil, turning until brown (about 1 1/2 minutes).
*To reheat frozen, bake uncovered in pan for 25 minutes
