Add ground beef and onion to a skillet over medium heat; chop beef into small pieces as it browns. Drain beef and discard grease; add black beans, Cheddar cheese and enchilada sauce to the skillet. Mix the filling to combine.
Spoon 1/6 of the filling into a tortilla; fold one side over the filling; fold both ends inward. Roll the tortilla so the filling is enclosed; secure the end in place with a wooden toothpick. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
Add oil to a deep skillet to a 1-inch depth; heat to 375 degrees.
Place 2 prepared chimichangas in the pan gently to avoid splashing the hot oil. Fry 2 minutes per side; remove from oil; place on a paper towel-lined platter to drain. Repeat until remaining are cooked.
Garnish with salsa, fresh cilantro and lime slices.
Serve immediately.
