Oven Fried Chicken Chimichangas

Oven Fried Chicken Chimichangas

A fast and healthier way to serve Chimichangas than the traditional deep fried. These are very good, and you may dress them up to you own preference. I like to serve with green chile sauce sometimes instead of the picante sauce..

Ingredients:

2/3 cup picante sauce or 2/3 cup your favorite salsa

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, crushed

1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, chopped

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 green onions, chopped with some tops (about 1/4 cup)

6 (8 inch) flour tortillas

2 tablespoons margarine, melted

shredded cheddar cheese, for serving

chopped green onion, for serving

picante sauce, for serving

Method:

1.      Mix chicken, picante sauce or salsa, cumin, oregano, cheese and onions.

2.      Place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla.

3.      Fold opposite sides over filling.

4.      Roll up from bottom and place seam-side down on a baking sheet.

5.      Brush with melted margarine.

6.      Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes or until golden.

7.      Garnish with additional cheese and green onion and serve salsa on the side.
