CHIMICHANGAS
Though still debated, Tucson is generally credited as the original home of the chimichanga (fried "burro", as we call them, stuffed with meat, onions and chiles). I've combined several recipes into this one, and it's fairly authentic. -Laura Towns, Glendale, Arizona

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Oil a rimmed baking sheet.
- Heat the 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the onions and garlic, stirring often, until the onions are soft, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, cumin, salt and green chiles. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer the mushroom mixture to a large bowl and add both beans, tomatoes, brown rice, cheese, the 1 cup salsa and 1/2 cup cilantro. Stir to combine the filling.
- Place 3/4 to 1 cup of the filling in the center of each tortilla and fold the sides in. Then fold the bottom up to cover the filling and fold the top down.
- Place the chimichangas, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet and brush or spray them lightly with oil. Bake until the tortillas are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve with sliced avocado, sour cream, extra salsa and cilantro.

Steps:
- Place the sweet potatoes in a saucepan, and stir in 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Cook and stir over medium heat until most of the juice has evaporated. Stir in the marshmallows just until partly melted. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool.
- Once the sweet potato mixture is cool, stir in the confectioners' sugar and flour. Add more sugar to taste if desired.
- Cut each tortilla in half, and spread a thin layer of butter on each side. Place 1 tablespoon of the sweet potato filling onto the center of each one running parallel to the cut edge, then fold in the sides, and roll up from the straight edge to seal in the filling.
- Heat about 1 inch oil in a large heavy skillet to about 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry chimichangas until light golden brown, turning as needed. Remove to paper towels to drain. The tortillas will darken a little after they are removed. Mix together the remaining cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle over the chimichangas while warm.

CHIMICHANGAS (BEEF AND POTATO)
If you have never tried a Chimichangas, do yourself a favor and try these. When you stuff a large flour tortilla, then roll it up and fry it,you end up with a Chimichanga! They are so good! My hubby and I love to prepare Mexican food and really love to eat it. We go to Mexican restaurants (rarely) and then try to duplicate it. These are fabulous! You can serve shredded cheese,red onion, chopped. A pitcher of ice cold Margaritas would seal the deal!!LOL!

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, combine the meat, potatoes, diced tomato, garlic, onion, salt, oregano, sugar and cumin.
- Add water just to cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until soupy, about 1 1/4 hours.
- Break up the potatoes and simmer until thick, about 30 minutes longer. Let cool slightly. Season with salt, to taste.
- Preheat the oven to 325°. Wrap the tortillas with foil and place in the oven for 10minutes to soften.
- Spoon a scant 1/2 cup of the meat and potato filling in the middle of each tortilla. Fold one side of the tortilla over the filling, then fold in the two adjacent sides. Finally, fold over the fourth side and secure with a toothpick.
- In a large heavy skillet, heat 2 inches of the oil to 360°F over moderately high heat. Place 3 of the filled tortillas in the skillet, seam side down and fry, turning, until evenly golden brown all over, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels, repeat with the remaining tortillas. Remove the toothpicks.
- Arrange the chimichangas on a warm platter. Top each with one with sour cream, salsa,shredded cheese, if using, and shredded lettuce. Arrange the tomato wedges around the platter and serve.
