Chimichangas

Healthy Chimichanga Recipe

Cociñero: Tate Beckham from Hunington Beach

I try to eat healthy as possible, but I love chimichangas. The Don Miguel Chimichangas are good, but I have also created my own, which aren't deep fried. You should definitely try them out.

Ingredients:

  • 10 burrito sized Flour Tortillas
  • 8 oz. jar fresh Salsa
  • 4 cups cooked chopped Chicken
  • 1/2 small diced yellow Onion
  • 1 tsp. ground Cumin
  • 3/4 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt
  • Vegetable oil
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican Cheese
  • Toppings:
  • Shredded Lettuce
  • Sour Cream
  • Guacamole
  • Diced Tomato

Instructions:

Combine 3/4 cup fresh salsa, chicken, yellow onion, ground cumin, oregano and salt ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Place the mixture and cheese in the middle of the flour tortillas and fold it like a burrito. Place the burritos in a frying pan with a little vegetable and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side. Place the chimichangas on a baking tray and place in oven preheated to 375 for 15 minutes. Serve the chimichangas with toppings.
