Baked Chicken Chimichangas

  1. Ingredients:
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • Olive oil spray
  • Sour cream and fresh cilantro (for serving)

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, refried beans, shredded cheese, salsa, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Lay a flour tortilla flat and spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture in the center. Fold in the sides and roll it up tightly, then place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  4. Lightly spray the chimichangas with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve warm with sour cream and fresh cilantro on the side.
