Oven “fried” Chimichangas

My fiance and I had some leftover rotisserie chicken from Target to use up. So, I searched online for ideas and found this great recipe for chimichangas on Recipezaar. Even better, it’s healthy!

Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup picante sauce or 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

Directions:

1. Mix the chicken, picante sauce/salsa, cumin, oregano, cheese and onions together in a bowl.

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

3. Fold the 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.

These came out pretty good. I would add more cheese for next time, but I think this is a definite keeper in the recipe file for us!
