Baked Chimichangas

This meal is so quick and easy.  I usually serve the chimichangas with fat free refried beans mixed with a little salsa and topped with a little fat free shredded cheese.  I also like a little fat free sour cream for dipping.  Serves two.

1/2 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 medium onion (or more if you love onion)
1/2 tablespoon taco seasoning
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
4 - 6" tortilla shells
spray butter

Preheat oven to 475° F. Coat baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Cook ground beef and onions in a medium skillet until meat is brown and onion is soft. Stir in garlic, 1/2 cup salsa, and taco seasoning. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Spoon 1/4 meat mixture into center of each tortilla. Lightly spray tops with spray butter. 

Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until brown.
