Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 store-bought rotisserie chicken
1 (16-ounce) container sour cream
1 (4 1/2-ounce) can chopped green chiles
2 c frozen corn, thawed
1 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, peeled, crushed, and minced
1 c shredded smoked mozzarella cheese
1 c extra sharp cheddar cheese
1 Tbsp cumin
1 tsp smoky chipotle chile powder
1 Tbsp freshly ground black pepper
10 flour tortillas (12")
1 c vegetable oil, for frying
1 guacamole or additional sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, debone the chicken and shred the meat.
  • 2. Add sour cream, chopped green chiles, corn, onion, garlic, both cheeses, and spices.
  • 3. Toss well.
  • 4. Set oven to 200 and in a large pan over moderate heat, warm 1/4 cup of oil until it sizzles.
  • 5. Meanwhile, put 1/4 cup of the chicken filling into each tortilla, roll, and secure with a toothpick.
  • 6. Working one at a time, pan-fry until the tortillas are golden brown and the interior mixture is warm, about 4 minutes per side.
  • 7. Add additional oil after each fry session. Drain on a paper towel, and transfer to oven to keep warm.
  • 8. When ready to serve, place on platter (or serve 2 per plate), and serve with favorite guacamole or sour cream.

I've made these chimichangas several times now and they are always a crowd-pleaser. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. I like to add black beans and corn to mine. They are also great for freezing and reheating later.
