Ingredients

Carne Asada
Chimichangas

Instructions

Carne Asada
Season the flank steak with green seasoning, salt, and black pepper, then let marinate in a container for at least one hour or overnight for a richer flavor.
Using a skillet add the oil and bring to medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, cook the steak for 3 minutes on each side, then remove from the pan, place onto a cutting board, and allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes.
When the steak has rested, slice into thin shreds.
Chimichangas
Separate the pepper Jack cheese into two potions 8 oz and 4 oz.
Preheat the oven to 400 °F/ 204 °C and place a rack in the middle of the oven.
Using a large bowl add the carne asada, chili, cumin, paprika, oregano, onion, tomato, bell pepper, cream cheese and 8 oz portion of pepper jack cheese then mix to thoroughly combine and set aside.
Lay the tortillas out on a clean counter or table-top and add 2 tablespoons of refried beans to the center of each and spread it out using the back of a spoon leaving a 2-inch space from the edge of the tortilla.
Spread 4 equal portions of the Carne Asada mixture on top of the refried beans on each tortilla.
Carefully wrap into a burrito by folding in two opposite sides in toward the center and then from one of the unfolded sides roll to the other unfolded side and place them seam side down onto a baking tray or dish.
Once all the burritos have been wrapped, brush the tops with olive oil over the tops of each burrito.
Place the tray of burritos into the oven and bake for 10 minutes then sprinkle the 4 oz portion of cheese on top and bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove from the oven, serve warm and enjoy.
