For the stuffing: In a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat and cook onion until translucent. Add ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 6 minutes or until mixture turns color. Add tomatoes, oregano, and cumin. Cook for 10 more minutes. Adjust seasoning. Remove from heat and let cool. For assembling the chimichangas: Spread a bed of refried pinto beans on a flour tortilla and top with a bit of ground beef mixture, plenty of shredded Manchego cheese, and pickled Jalapeño chiles. Fold flour tortilla as an envelope. Fold 2 opposite edges of the flour tortilla into the center and roll up tightly to keep stuffing from spilling. Secure with a wooden toothpick. In a skillet, heat plenty of vegetable oil and fry chimichangas over medium-low heat. Using tongs, turn the chimichanga little by little until both sides turn golden brown. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve chimichangas with pico de gallo and lime wedges on the side.
