Inspired by my other oven baked chimichanga recipe I have on this site I decided to play around with some different flavors. I love chimichangas, really I love flour tortillas. I can actually eat the tortillas without anything on them, that is if I am using the uncooked kind that you cook yourself. If you have never tried these I highly recommend them. The flavor and freshness add so much to anything that calls for them. Well these are a fun different, but still easy way to use my yummy flour tortillas and get a few other semi healthy things in with it. What is even more awesome than there yumminess is the fact that I can make a whole bunch at a time and freeze the extra ones and cook them up later. I really love anything I can freeze and use on days when I don't feel like cooking.
Southwestern Style Chimichangas
1 lb shredded chicken
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can corn
1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Ranch dressing (optional)
10 uncooked tortillas
Combine barbecue sauce and chicken. Take one tortilla shell. Place a tablespoon of ranch on it. Top with chicken, black beans, corn and shredded cheese. Roll up tucking the corners in as you roll. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 375 for about 20 minutes or until the tortilla is golden brown. Top with cheese if desired.
yummy looks good

ReplyDeleteI love the name Chimichangas - it sounds like a festival in itself! Love flour tortillas and would happily sit down to this meal. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe first time I ever heard about a chimichanga was in the movie "Meet the Fockers". To this day, whenever I see the name, I hear Dustin Hoffman and his answering machine message from the movie in my head :-)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried to make my own chimichangas but love them! I am so happy you made an oven baked version so I can try a healthier one when I get the chance to make some of my own :D
ReplyDeleteThese chimichangas look amazing! I've never made my own before, but def need to try now!
ReplyDeleteBarbecue sauce and ranch, together? YUM! Those chimichangas sound ammmmazing!
ReplyDeleteA nice protein rich meal with tasty flavours. I too love anything that freezes well - it creates flexibility on harried days. Thanks Angie.
