– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
– ½ cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
– Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions:
1. Cook the Filling: In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is soft. Stir in cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and mix in the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses until melted.
2. Assemble the Chimichangas: Place a generous amount of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
