Plus, they freeze really well—perfect for busy nights when you want something homemade without the fuss.

Use fresh onions, tomatoes, and even garlic from your garden to make the filling really shine. You can also toss in chopped peppers or zucchini if you have some on hand. The freshness of homegrown veggies adds big flavor to this dish!

To make chimichangas, cook chopped onion and garlic in a pan until soft. Add chopped tomato, a can of green chiles, and shredded, cooked beef.

Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture into flour tortillas and fold them like burritos. Then fry them in a little oil until golden brown and crispy.

Serve your chimichangas with a dollop of sour cream, salsa, or fresh garden lettuce. They make a great family dinner and can be wrapped up and frozen for later. Just pop one in the oven for a quick meal that still tastes garden-fresh!

Homestead cooking doesn’t have to be fancy—it just has to be real and delicious.
