Ingredients:<\/u><\/u><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
1.5 pounds top
\nround<\/div>\n
salt and pepper
\n1\/2 cup water
\n1 T dried minced onion, or 1 diced fresh onion
\n*1 can tomatoes and chiles–drained
\n*1 can diced tomatoes–drained<\/div>\n
burrito-sized tortillas, and whatever toppings your
\nfamily likes<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Directions:<\/u><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the morning:<\/div>\n
\nSalt and pepper your meat on all sides. Plop it into the crockpot and cover
\nwith 1\/2 cup of water. Cook on low all day—I cooked this for 8 hours.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
After your meat has cooked, remove it
\ncarefully. Skim the fat out of the liquid at the bottom of<\/a>\u00a0your stoneware, and
\nremove excess juice. You really only need about a cup of juice left in the
\ncrock.<\/div>\n
Put your meat back inside, and shred it with two
\nforks. The meat should come apart easily. If it doesn’t, cut it in pieces and
\ncook on low a few more hours.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Add the can of drained diced tomatoes and drained
\ntomatoes and chiles.<\/div>\n
\nTurn your crock to high to warm everything up.<\/div>\n
\nPrepare your toppings.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When the meat is hot again, start making your little
\nchimichanga packets. Steam a few tortillas at a time by stacking them on a
\nplate and covering with a dampened paper towel. Microwave for 60 seconds.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Take a steamed tortilla and plop a spoonful of meat
\nin the center. If you use too much meat, it won’t fold correctly. Fold the
\nbottom and top of the tortilla, then the sides. The sides need to overlap a
\nbit, so the meat doesn’t escape.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Heat up some oil in a big skillet. When it is super
\nhot, carefully put the chimichanga into the oil, seam-side down. Fry until
\ngolden brown (about 1 min) then flip.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Top with cheese, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.<\/div>\n
