Chimmichangas
Filling4-5 chicken breasts
Taco seasoning
1 medium chopped onion
1 cup dry pinto beans soaked over night then drained
1 clove peeled crushed garlic
chopped green chilies- I used a small can, drained
Burrito sized tortillas
shredded cheese/ Mexican blend or Cheddar
olive oil
Place all filling ingredients into the crock pot. I didn't have beans on hand, if you do pour water over this to cover the beans. Turn it on low for 8 hours or until the beans are done.
Shred the chicken with two forks.
It soaks up the juices nicely.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
To assemble the chimmichangs, place some filling on the tortilla.
Add some cheese.
Roll it up once, then fold in the sides. Then roll it up the rest of the way.
Place them seam side down on a baking sheet.
Brush with oil, or I use my pump and spray bottle that I keep filled with olive oil.
Bake for 20 minutes until browned then flip over and bake for a little longer, about 10 minutes. I did make these for lunch the next day on my pizza stone and it was nice no need to turn them over at all to brown. Serve with sour cream, fresh salsa, olives and/or avocado.
i read your blogs all the time. i made this for dinner last week. BIG HIT! we are not a leftover family much, but we had these for lunch the next day even! so yummy!
