Baked Chimichangas image

If served with rice and refried beans you will be rolling away from the table. I make these for tailgate parties at my house-keeps them full and happy!!!!!! Please note prep time does not include cooking the meat, which can be done a day in advance.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 -3 lbs shredded pork or 2 -3 lbs shredded chicken, cooked
1 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 -4 chipotle chiles, chopped
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2-1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
adobo sauce (from chipotles)
8 -10 large tortillas (white flour or whole wheat)
shredded lettuce
chopped tomato
salsa or picante sauce
sour cream
guacamole
sliced jalapeno
sliced olive
gravy (made from the meat-I make it quite spicy)

Steps:

  • After stewing the meat on a crockpot or pan drain off liquid and reserve.
  • Shred and chop meat-set aside.
  • In a large skillet cook onion and garlic with just a touch of oil and cook until onion is just browning.
  • Add the meat, chilies, oregano, salt and red pepper and cook on low for 10 minutes.
  • Add adobo sauce if needed, you don't want a totaly dry mixture and you dont want it soggy.
  • Warm tortillas in the oven so they are bendable.
  • Lay out 3 or 4 at a time and slightly off center place some cheese and then about 1/2 a cup of meat mixture and fold envelope style.
  • Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet-repeat.
  • Lightly oil the tops and bake in a 425 oven for 20 minutes or a 375 oven for 35-40 minutes-your choice.
  • With the juices from the cooked meat I make a spicy gravy to offer with this.
  • When done remove from oven.
  • Serve with condiments, spanish rice and refried beans.
  • Believe me when I say you will roll away from the table!
  • To Plate: Lettuce on the bottom, then chimichanga, then gravy, then guac and sour cream and salsa, then remaining condimednts sprinkled on top.

The chimichangas were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I will try frying them next time.

The chimichangas were delicious! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very flavorful. I also added some extra cheese to the filling.
