Directions:
Directions:
Combine cooked,shredded meat and the rest of ingredients together in large cast iron skillet and simmer on top of stove for about 40 minutes. The machaca will be tastier and better if allowed to stand about 1/2 hour before making chimichanga. Place drained, large spoon full of meat mixture in center of large flour tortilla shell. Roll up. deep fat fry. I've used an electric skillet with 1 1/2 " of hot oil, to fry on one side, turn and fry other side. This helps prevent shell from coming lose and loosing filling during frying process.) Several can be fried at one time.

Top with desired topping: red or green sauce, sour cream, hot sauce or salsa, chopped tomatoes,shredded lettuce, chopped black olives, green sliced olives, and grated cheddar or white cheeses.
