Number Of Ingredients 9

2/3 cup Pace® Picante Sauce

  • Stir the picante sauce, cumin, oregano, chicken, cheese and onions in a medium bowl.

I'm not a huge fan of chimichangas, but these were pretty good. I would definitely make them again.

Overall, I thought these chicken chimichangas were just okay. They were easy to make, but the flavor was nothing special.

These were way too greasy for my liking. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The chimichangas fell apart when I tried to fry them. I think I should have baked them instead.

The chicken chimichangas were a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more seasoning to the filling.

These were a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some black beans and corn to the filling for extra flavor.

These chimichangas were delicious! I used a rotisserie chicken to save time and they turned out great. The tomatillo sauce was also a nice touch.

I've tried many oven-fried chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the breading was crispy and flavorful. The chimichangas were also easy to assemble and bake.

These chicken chimichangas were a hit with my family! The crispy outer shell and flavorful filling were a perfect combination. I especially loved the tangy tomatillo sauce. Will definitely be making these again!
