Comments: I had a lot of fun making up this recipe. I like making the meat mixture up the day before and letting it chill in the fridge. Then the next day I put them together. I freeze them. I put them on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Lay the chimichagas on the cookie sheet, then spray the top with butter flavored cooking spray. I cover first layer with wax paper and keep going. I cover top layer with wax paper and freeze for about 3 hours. Then I put in a ziplock bag. I can then just take out what we�ll eat and let thaw and then bake. So nice for those nights when you don�t feel like cooking. We also like that fact that they are not fried. I use a very very lean pork roast, trying to keep the fat content down.
This was published in Taste of Home Magazines Dec./Jan 04 issue page 47. They did some tweaking as usual, Below my recipe is their version.

List of Ingredients
1 lb. pinto beans
3 lb. boneless pork roast (very lean)
enough water to cover beans
1/3 cup chili powder
3 (4 oz. cans) diced green chilies
1 onion, chopped
1 can (14 1/2 oz.) chicken broth
3 pkgs. (10 ct.) flour tortilla shells, burrito size
4 c. 2% grated mild cheddar cheese
picanta sauce (we like the medium)
butter flavored cooking spray
Recipe
Soak beans overnight. Drain and rinse beans good. In a dutch oven add all but chicken broth. Put in oven, cover & bake 4 hours.
Then add chicken broth & bake uncovered for 30 min.
Take meat out & shred. I put some of the broth aside as you don�t want this runny. Then take beans & mush in pan. I use a potato masher.
Put meat back with beans & using potato masher, mash beans and meat together. If to thick add a little broth.
Spoon about 1/3 c. of pork mixture off-center on tortillas. Then put about 1-2 teaspoon. of picante sauce. Top with a sprinkle of cheese. Fold edge nearest filling up & over to cover. Fold in both sides & roll up.
Spray outside of tortillas with butter flavored pan.
Bake at 350 for 25 - 30 min. or until golden brown (if frozen, thaw before baking)
If you like things really spicy, instead of using green chilies, use a whole jar of jalepeno�s peppers that has been chopped finely.
