Bean and Cheese Chimichangas

I found this recipe online and after tweaking it a few times, I am proud to call it a masterpiece!


Ingredients

12 tortillas
2 egg whites
1 can refried beans
1-2 cups shredded cheese (depending on personal preference)
1/2 can Diced Tomatoes and Chiles
2 Tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

Place beans, tomatoes, and cheese in a pot and heat until cheese is melted.
Warm up tortillas.
Separate egg whites and whip with a whisk.
Put beans in the middle of a tortilla, sprinkle with more cheese and brush egg whites all around the beans.
Fold top and bottom of tortilla, wrap one side of tortilla securely, close with other side of tortilla.
Fry chimis by placing in pan of oil on medium heat. Heat both sides until golden brown.

Serve with salsa, sour cream, ketchup, or anything else you want to experiment with.

Microwave Score: -- haven't tried it, but not sure it would work out well, we make enough to eat at one time.
Freezer score:-- again, haven't tried, but not sure it would work well.
Rob score: 5.0 He LOVES these, he hates when I buy frozen burritos now, because these are way better.
Overall score:4.0 Not sure they would work to reheat, but they are easy to make, and really yummy!
