deadpool's chimichanga recipe <3
this is the guide for the chimichangas wade makes in chapter 38 of the tangled web we weave, and it happens to be something ive been making these past months, so i thought id share the recipe <3
this recipe was originally gotten from my cousin, and i experimented and changed it over time. i am in no way a chef. but deadpool is, so please enjoy!
ingredients for the chimichanga filling:
1 pound ground beef (you can marinate it overnight in in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, and your favorite spices)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
3 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (3 cause i like it spicy! adjust to your spice preference)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn kernels (i prefer fresh, but frozen also works)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
vegetable oil, for frying
ingredients for the guacamole:
2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 small tomato, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 jalapeño pepper, minced (adjust to your spice preference)
juice of 1 lime
salt and pepper, to taste
ingredients for tortillas:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup warm water
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
ingredients for serving:
sour cream
salsa
chopped fresh cilantro
lime wedges
(optional) pickled red onions
instructions:
one. prepare the guacamole:
in a bowl, mash the avocados with a fork until mostly smooth.
stir in the chopped onion, diced tomato, minced garlic, minced jalapeño, and lime juice.
season the guacamole with salt and pepper to taste. cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly against the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning, and set aside.
two. prepare the chimichanga filling:
in a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and translucent.
add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it's browned and cooked through. drain any excess fat if needed.
stir in the diced red and green bell peppers, minced jalapeño, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. cook for another 2-3 minutes until the peppers start to soften.
add the black beans and corn kernels to the skillet, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat them through.
remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it's melted and the filling is well combined.
three. make the tortillas (ones from supermarket work too ofc):
in a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
add the warm water and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
knead the dough on a floured surface for a few minutes until it becomes smooth.
divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll them into balls.
flatten each ball into a thin circle using a rolling pin.
heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they puff up and have golden spots. keep them warm in a clean kitchen towel.
four. assemble the chimichangas:
lay out the large flour tortillas on a clean surface.
spoon an equal amount of the chimichanga filling onto the center of each tortilla.
fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly, creating a burrito-like shape.
five. fry the chimichangas:
in a large, deep skillet, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches around 170°c.
carefully place the chimichangas seam side down into the hot oil using tongs.
fry the chimichangas for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
use tongs to remove the chimichangas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
(for extra crispiness, you may double fry)
six. serve:
serve the chimichangas hot, topped with a generous dollop of guacamole, sour cream, salsa, chopped cilantro, pickled red onions, and a lime wedge on the side.
seven. eating:
gather your friends
get comfy
get hydrated (i like to make hibiscus or tamarind agua fresca w it, or a good, green ice tea)
and enjoy <3

🍒 Terra …. Or Earth as a lot of people here called it , was so much different than her new colony on Knowhere. She’d come here for a few different reasons — to just get the fuck out of her usual environment , to get out of home. And to find Peter. ( but that last issue , Cherri didn’t even know where to begin , where even was Missouri? Sounded a lot like misery if you asked her. ) But she had her share of struggles here too , but she knew how to defend herself , even if it looked like she just got out of the worst fight of her life.
It actually wasn’t even a fight at all , it was another instance of her just wanting something to eat , they didn’t have anything like this back at home. Cherri takes a breath to reset , to rest against the wall to regain at least some strength. Starting to unwrap her stolen goods ( it was a basic bag of candy , one that they had a hundred boxes of , so they wouldn’t miss just one ) Cherri had barely made it out of there , something catches her eye , and she speaks up.
“ Lookin’ like shit over there. “ she says to the complete stranger ( another dangerous line she walked , this guy looked like she could kill her for saying something like that ) but how ironic it was when she looked like she stepped freshly out of the hospital herself
