1
Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a skillet, combine ground beef and chopped onion. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
3
Add minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well.
4
Mix in diced green chile peppers and refried beans until well combined. Turn off heat and set aside.
5
Place a tortilla on a plate and add about 1/2 cup of the beef mixture to the center. Sprinkle with Cheddar Jack cheese and chopped spinach.
6
Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla over the filling, then fold in the top and bottom sides to form a chimichanga.
7
Brush the top of the chimichanga with melted butter and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
8
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chimichangas become golden brown in color.
9
Serve the chimichangas with diced roma tomatoes, sour cream, and chopped chives for topping.
