A local market makes something that looks very similar, but they call them beef chimichangas. Which is completely wrong, because chimichangas are deep fried.

And whatever's on the inside, isn't beef. I don't know what it is. It has the consistency of refried beans, but it isn't that either.

Taco meat? Are you talking about chopped up ranchera or ground beef? Because yeah mixing in beans with ground beef would make that kind of consistency, but true taco meat would not.

Well I worked as a cook in a Mexican restaurant for a few years, so yes. And I love cooking, I've made many Mexican style dishes. I have never been able to turn taco beef into tasteless creamy paste, nor would I ever want to!

If you cook room temp hamburger on medium heat and constantly stir it, you get maximum separation of the hamburger with a...creamy? Consistency after adding water and taco seasoning
