Chicken And Cheese Chimichangas Recipe

CHICKEN AND CHEESE CHIMICHANGAS

From spinach1948 15 years ago

This is a Tex-Mex recipe from Rhodes and free. I do the lower fat way by cooking in the oven insted of frying in oil. The photo is from the card.

Cook in a large skillet onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add chicken and cook over low heat until heated thoroughly. Remove from heat. Add cheese. Roll each roll to a 5-inch square. Spread each square with 2 teaspoons salsa. Spoon ¼ cup chicken mixture onto half of each square. Fold the other half and pinch the edges to seal. Fry each chimichanga in oil at 375 F approximately 3 minutes on each side. Serve with salsa, sour cream and grated cheese, if desired.
Variation: For a low-fat Instead of frying, these can be baked at 350 F. for 20 minutes.
