- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the extra lean ground beef until fully browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the fat-free refried beans, chopped onion, 1/4 cup of tomato sauce, chili powder, minced garlic, and ground cumin into the cooked ground beef. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Lay out the warmed tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the beef and bean mixture onto each tortilla, slightly off-center.
- Fold the edge of each tortilla closest to the filling over the mixture. Then, fold in the left and right sides, and roll it up tightly to form a chimichanga. Secure each chimichanga with toothpicks to hold them together.
- In a small saucepan, combine the diced green chilies, sliced jalapeño peppers, and the remaining tomato sauce. Heat the mixture over low heat until warmed through.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Place the chimichangas in the skillet, seam side down, and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the chimichangas from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese over the top of each chimichanga.
- Serve the chimichangas with the spicy sauce on the side or drizzle it over the top, as desired.
