2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon cumin

Directions:
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350º.
2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over
medium-high heat. Drain excess grease, and add
the onion, bell pepper, and corn. Cook for about 5
more minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Stir in
the taco sauce, and season with chili powder, garlic
salt and cumin, stirring until blended. Cook until
heated through, then remove from heat, and set
aside.
3. Open the can of beans, and spread a think layer
of beans onto each of the tortillas. Spoon the beef
mixture down the center, and then top with as much
shredded cheese as you like. Roll up the tortillas,
and place them seam-side down onto a baking
sheet. Brush tortillas with melted butter.
4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven,
or until golden brown. Serve with lettuce and
tomato.

While chimichangas are baking prepare red sauce by
sautéing onions and garlic in oil. Add rest of ingredients and
simmer until cooked down. Place on after chimichangas have
just come out of oven.
