Baked Chimichangas

Since Melissa and I are both currently living on what seems like the other side of the world, we don't have the luxury of having GOOD Mexican food. Here is a recipe we use at home to curb our cravings!
 Ingredients

1 pound shredded beef (approx)
1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes with jalapenos (this was not spicy at all, just added a good flavor)
8 (12 inch) flour tortillas
1 (16 ounce) package shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon butter, melted
shredded lettuce
1 fresh tomato, diced
sour cream


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a large saucepan, combine shredded beef and canned diced tomatoes. Simmer on med-lo heat for about 20 minutes, or until the juices are gone.

Spoon the beef mixture down the center, and roll up the tortillas, and place them seam-side down onto a baking sheet. Brush the tortillas with melted butter.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Serve with lettuce, tomato, and sour cream
