SOUTH-O-THE-BORDER ESSENTIALS:CHICKEN CHIMICHANGAS
I love a good chimichanga... all that yummy pulled chicken and gooey cheese, lovingly wrapped up in a flour tortilla, fried to perfection, and then covered in a perfect white sauce. So yummy. FYI: I've included recipes for the pulled chicken, and the yummy white sauce. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

- 5. Place half of the cheese on top of the chicken.
- 6. Begin by rolling one side of the tortilla up and over the filling.
- 7. Tuck in both sides
- 8. Finish by continuing the roll, so that the seam side is down.
- 9. Add the grapeseed oil to a sauté pan, and heat to 350f (175c).

- 12. Cook until nice and brown, about 2 - 3 minutes per side.
- 13. Chef's Tip: If you are cooking these in batches, warm your oven to 250f (120c), and then put the finished ones in the oven, while the others are cooking.
