I made these for dinner and Brian said, "These are actually really good!" I chose to ignore the surprise in his voice and just take the compliment.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 cans (16 ounces each) refried beans
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup taco sauce
16 flour tortillas (10 inches) - I used the fresh ones from costco because they are softer and work better
Vegetable oil (For Frying)
Directions:
In a large skillet, cook beef, onion, green pepper and garlic over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the beans, cheese and taco sauce. Cook and stir until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Spoon about 1/3 cup off-center on each tortilla. Fold up edge nearest filling; fold in both sides and roll up. Secure with a toothpick. In a large skillet, fry tortillas, folded side down, in oil for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn; cook 2-3 minutes longer. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sauce...
Baja Sauce:
2 -8oz cream cheese blocks, softened
4-oz half and half (approx- you may need more or less- just until it is creamy)
1-4 oz can diced jalepenos
dash of salt
Put it all in a blender until nice and creamy.
Don't forget...
Don't forget to label your recipe when you post it (for those new to blogging- right below where you type in your post, there is a line for you to type a label). Label your recipe by type- Main Dish, Dessert, Side, Appetizer, Soup, or Beverage. You can also add other labels like Crockpot, Skillet, BBQ, Chocolate, etc. along with your dish type.

Preston and I LOVED them. They were more than just "actually pretty good!" They were seriously tasty!
Very yummy! I kind of did a lower fat version and used milk in the sauce and also oven fried them by putting a little oil on the cookie sheet and baking then at 400 for about 5 minutes and then flipping them over for another 5. They were still crunchy and a little lower fat. Only other change I made was put chilies in for the pepper because John hates green pepper. We both rated them a 5 out of 5!
Yes, the beef baja chimis are very good at macayos.. You are the closest i've seen yet to the baja recipe.. I've been working there for years, and it is half cream cheese, and half jalepeno juice.. THATS IT...
