Baked Chicken Chimichangas image

My friend Nancy shared this recipe with me years ago, and it's the recipe I always use now when making Chicken Chimichangas (baking or frying). It has always turned out great, and it has become a family favorite. I usually serve it with lots of fresh toppings piled on top and some Spanish Rice and Pico de Gallo served...

Categories     Tacos & Burritos

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 c cooked chicken, shredded (great recipe for using up leftover roasted chicken!)
4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, room temperature
1 c salsa
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
2 green onions, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
SUGGESTED OPTIONAL TOPPINGS
diced tomato
low-fat sour cream
guacamole or diced avocado
chopped cilantro
additional shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • 2. In a bowl, mix together the cooked chicken, cream cheese, salsa, cumin, oregano, cheese and green onions.
  • 3. Set 6 tortillas on the counter. Add about 1/3 cup of the filling to the center of each tortilla.
  • 4. Fold two opposites sides about 1 1/2 inches in, toward center. Then fold up the bottom edge about 1 1/2 inches, then tightly roll the bottom edge up toward the top, covering filling, so it's rolled up tightly like a burrito. Make sure all the filling is inside and no filling is spilling out.
  • 5. Place rolled chimichangas on a baking sheet, seam side down. Brush the top and sides of the chimichangas with melted butter (or spray lightly with butter spray).
  • 6. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes or until crispy. Serve immediately, garnished with your chosen toppings.

Overall, I thought these chimichangas were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I had a hard time finding some of the ingredients for this recipe. I ended up having to substitute a few things.

The chimichangas were a bit too greasy for my liking. I think I would use less oil next time.

These chimichangas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more seasoning next time.

These chimichangas were easy to make and turned out delicious. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the chimichangas were crispy and golden brown. I will definitely be making these again.
