Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings 2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed of fat ¼ cup water 1 ½ cups beef broth 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 4 (8-inch) flour tortillas 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 cup salsa ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese ½ cup sour cream Directions Cook beef and water in a Dutch oven, covered, over medium heat for 30 minutes. Remove cover; cook until liquid evaporated, and beef well browned, about 10 minutes. Combine beef broth, red wine vinegar, chili powder and cumin in a bowl; pour over beef. Cover and cook until beef very tender and pulls apart easily, about 2 hours. Cool, then shred and mix with pan juices. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Brush both sides tortillas with melted butter. Spoon beef filling down center of tortillas. Fold tortilla ends over filling, then fold sides to center to make a packet. Place chimichangas, seam-sides-down, in a 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with salsa, shredded cheese, and sour cream.
