In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink; discard grease. Stir in refried beans, onion, 1/2 c. tomato sauce, chili powder, garlic and cumin.
Spoon about 1/3 cup of the beef mixture off-center on each warmed tortilla. Fold edge nearest filling up and over to cover; fold in both sides; roll up; secure with toothpicks.
In a large saucepan, combine the chilies, jalapeno peppers and remaining tomato sauce; heat through.
In an electric skillet or a deep-fat fryer, heat 1 inch of oil to 375 degrees. Fry chimichangas for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Drain on a paper towel lined platter.
Serve hot with sauce, sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese and a side of shredded lettuce, chopped tomato and sour cream or guacamole.
