CHIMICHANGAS 
2 lbs. of beef or chicken, shredded
1 can Ortega green chilies, chopped
1 can jalapeno peppers, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 can stewed Italian tomatoes
1/2 lb. cheddar cheese
oil for deep frying
large flour tortillas

Condiments (1 Bowl of Each):

lettuce, chopped
shredded cheddar cheese
olives, chopped
guacamole
sour cream
fresh tomato, diced
salsa

Mix onion, chilies, jalapenos and Italian tomatoes together. Cook 2 lbs of beef until it starts to fall apart. Add chili, onion, and tomato mixture and simmer until it tastes wonderful. If you have any meat mixture left after tasting, start to roll about 1/2 c. in each flour tortilla. Deep fry them holding the tortilla together with a slotted spoon. Serve with condiments to decorate the top of the chimichanga. Eat, enjoy and sing a Christmas song or two.
