Refried Bean Chimichanga

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 can vegetarian refried beans
    1 can black olives
    1 tablespoon vegan sugar
    1/4 medium onion
    2 tablespoons salsa
    1 cup canola oil
    2 flour tortillas
    1/2 cup grated non-dairy cheese

Directions:

Start by cooking refried beans on low heat in a medium pot.

In a small pan, place 1/2 cup of cooking oil and sliced onion.  Simmer onions until almost clear and spoon vegan sugar over onions.  The sugar will carmelize on the onions giving them a sweet taste (secret hint for any dish using onions).

Remove onions from the oil and place in beans.

Add other 1/2 cup of oil to pan and heat for frying process.

Spoon bean and onion mixture onto 2 flour tortillas.

Wrap tightly and place in hot oil. Fry tortillas until golden brown.

Remove from oil and garnish with black olives, grated cheese, and salsa.

Serves: 1

Preparation time: 15 min

So yummy! And thanks for the tip on the onion! I do that all the time now! I like mine with more onion and I like to add the salsa to the mix rather than serve it on top. It makes eating them cold the next day easier!

Loved them!  My modifications: I omitting the added sugar, I baked the tortillas instead of frying them, and I topped them with guacamole instead of soy cheese.

these look great, my fiance keeps bugging me about how no restaurants will make him a meatless chimichanga so Iam obligated now to make them for him. He doesn't like onions though (ugh!) so are there any suggestions on what to use instead? He doesn't like zuchhini either (ugh UGH!!!) and I don't want him to go without a veggie if I can...

I think any cooked veggies inside would be awesome to tell u the truth as long as u think it would mix well with the beans... good luck

Thank you! I think I might do a puree of steamed orange veggies to try and hide them (out of site out of mind...but still in there!) But now my man demands I make him homemade flour tortillas because store bought ones just "don't compare" haha..sheesh just one more step to add the list of many!
