Baked Chimichangas with Green Chili Cream Sauce image

I saw this recipe on a 2015 Southwest Cooking calendar. I tweaked it a little bit to avoid using prepared salsa. It is really good and reheats well. I serve this with a salad and Mexican rice! Enjoy

TURKEY AND GREEN CHILE AL FORNO

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 poblano chile peppers
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground turkey (80/20 blend)
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
3/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion
2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
12 ounces penne rigate
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 lime, zested
2 cups creme fraiche
4 ripe Roma tomatoes
1/4 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Begin by charring the poblano chile peppers. Using tongs, place the peppers directly over an open flame on the stove top. Char all over, about 2 minutes per side, and then place in a bowl covered tightly with plastic wrap so they sweat. Leave to sit for 5 minutes, and then use a paper towel to remove the charred outer layer. Discard the stem and seeds, and then dice the peppers.
  • Set a large Dutch oven over high heat and add the butter and olive oil. Add the turkey, onions and garlic and cook, breaking up into small pieces, until lightly browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the flour and season with the cumin, onion powder, paprika and some salt and pepper. The flour will form a roux with the fat in the pan. Cook for 2 minutes while stirring, and then add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add the heavy cream and bring back to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and fold in diced chile peppers and corn. Simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cook the pasta in a pot of boiling, salted water until al dente, about 12 minutes.
  • Fold the pasta into the turkey sauce and season with salt and pepper, stirring until thoroughly combined. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large mixing bowl, prepare the topping by combining the panko, Parmigiano-Reggiano, olive oil and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine everything well. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly on top of the pasta. Place the whole dish on a sheet tray (to catch any spill over) and place in the oven to bake until the breadcrumbs are golden and the sauce is bubbly around the edges, about 35 minutes.
  • For garnishes, stir the lime zest together with creme fraiche. Dice the tomatoes and roughly chop the parsley.

1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced (remember to wear gloves when handling hot peppers)
1 1/2 tsp chili powder (use hot if you like a little heat)

1/3 can(s) 10-oz rotel tomatoes, drained (reserve some for sauce and beans)
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 c sour cream
4 10-inch flour tortillas
8 oz colby jack cheese, shredded (plus more for beans)
2 Tbsp each of butter and olive oil
mexican rice, cooked
GREEN CHILE SAUCE
1/2 large white onion, chopped
2 tsp minced garlic (i used jarred)
salt, to taste
1/4 tsp chili powder (hot chili powder if you like it spicy)
1/4 tsp cumin
2 4-oz cans green chiles, drained
1 c chicken broth or stock
1/3 can(s) rotel tomatoes, drained
REFRIED BEANS:
1 15-oz can refried beans
1/3 can(s) rotel tomatoes
1/4 c colby jack cheese, shredded
1 Tbsp chile peppers
pinch chili powder
pinch cumin
pinch salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • 2. Shred or chop turkey; set aside.
  • 3. REFRIED BEANS: Empty can of refried beans into a medium size pot. Add 1/3 can of the drained Rotel Tomatoes, 1/4 cup shredded Colby jack cheese, a spoonful of the green Chile peppers, a pinch of chili powder, a pinch of cumin and salt to taste. Heat over med/low heat until cheese melts; stirring occasionally.
  • 4. Heat 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil in large skillet over med/low heat. Add onions, garlic and jalapeno; cook until onions are tender. Add chili powder, cumin and salt; stir in 1/3 can rotel tomatoes and 2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro; continue cooking until moisture cooks out (about 2 minutes). Stir in turkey and sour cream, cooking and stirring until warm; remove from heat.
  • 5. Melt 2 Tbsp butter with 2 Tbsp olive oil. Brush oil mixture generously on a large rimmed baking sheet or pan. Spread about 2 Tbsp of the bean mixture down the center of each tortilla, leaving about 2 inch border. Divide chicken mixture into 4 equal parts and add to each tortilla. Top with 1/4 cup of shredded cheese. Fold top and bottom pieces in (the short edges) and then fold in the sides. Place seam side down on the baking sheet; brush with oil mixture.
  • 6. Bake about 10 minutes and then gently flip over and brush tops with oil and bake another 10 minutes.
  • 7. Remove from oven and serve with rice and any leftover refried beans. Top with sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and more cheese if desired. Dress up to your preference.
  • 8. SAUCE: Combine ingredients and cook over medium heat until liquid reduces (about 20 to 30 minutes).

Tips:

  • Use a good quality tortilla. Fresh, pliable tortillas will make for the best chimichangas. If you can, try to find tortillas that are made with masa harina, a type of corn flour that gives tortillas a slightly sweet flavor and chewy texture.
  • Don't overfill the chimichangas. If you put too much filling in, they will be difficult to roll and seal. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per chimichanga.
  • Be careful when frying the chimichangas. Hot oil can splatter, so be sure to wear long sleeves and pants. Also, don't overcrowd the pan. Fry the chimichangas in batches so that they have enough room to cook evenly.
  • Serve the chimichangas with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and shredded cheese. You can also serve them with a side of rice and beans.

Conclusion:

Turkey chimichangas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover turkey after Thanksgiving or Christmas. With a little bit of planning, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give turkey chimichangas a try. You won't be disappointed!
