- In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Add the diced onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until the onions are soft and the beef is fully cooked.

- Place a spoonful of the beef and bean mixture onto a flour tortilla. Top with shredded cheese.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a chimichanga.
