It seems as though some of the best foods that have been discovered in this world were accidentally dropped in a deep fryer. Matter of fact, those are not accidents those are acts of fate. Great moments.

One of these such moments...the Chimichanga. The Chimichanga translates loosely as the Spanish equivalent of a thingamajig. A title like that, yet we and thousands others love to eat it.  Now you can enjoy them at home with out all the hassle of carbs.

Here's What You Need

1 Pound Ground Beef
Diced Onion
Taco Mix
Low Carb Tortilla (I recommend Mission 4 carb tortillas)
Vegetable oil
Shredded cheese

Heres what you do:
1. Brown the ground beef
2. Following instructions, use some lower carb taco mix to make up some taco meat. Add some onions for some extra flavor.

3. Stuff or roll the Low Carb tortillas with taco meat and some cheese. Hold tight with a toothpick so inside will not fall out.
4. Place in pan of hot vegetable oil. You don't need a lot. Just enough to brown the sides. Watch carefully as to not burn. Golden brown means they are done.

5. Top with ingredients of your choice: Sour Cream, Salsa, Cheese, ect. You can use even use a enchilada sauce to cover them, but make sure to go light as some of those sauces contain a lot of carbs.

They are quick, easy, and a a nice little something that tastes like something from a fancy Mexican place when you are in a hurry. And usally two small ones and you are full.
