20 mini chimichangas

I made these the first time with some leftover roast meat. I wanted to jazz up the leftovers and here is what transpired! My husband and I love these little, golden, crisp chimis! We make them for parties all the time. This is excellent served with guacamole, or alone! —Danielle Luaders, Clever, Missouri

2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles
2 teaspoons ground cumin

In a large bowl, combine first 9 ingredients. Stir in cooked beef.

Fold sides toward center over filling. Moisten remaining corner with water; roll up tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
