Reduced Fat Chicken Chimichangas are the Best of Mexican Cuisine

This recipe can be made from start to finish in half an hour.

Ingredients To Gather:

• 4 large burrito-size flour tortillas

• ½ cup refried beans

• 1 cup guacamole (optional, but highly recommended!)

• 2 cups shredded chicken (see recipe below for the easy slow cooker chicken I used!)

• 1 cup shredded Mexican style cheese (Cheddar, Monterey Jack cheese, use your favorite!)

• oil or cooking spray

• optional: additional guacamole, salsa

Directions To Prepare:

1. Preheat oven to 425 and grease a baking sheet.

2. Lay your tortillas out on a flat surface. Spread refried beans in the middle of each tortilla. Spread guacamole on top of the beans. Add shredded chicken, then shredded cheese. Roll into a burrito.

3. Place burritos on prepared baking sheet. Spray generously with cooking spray, OR brush with oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the tortillas are browned and crispy. Serve warm with additional guacamole and salsa if desired.

Finished!

You can serve this up as a main entree or have it for a snack. Baked Chimichangas are a heck of a lot better than the traditional ones. Make sure that you add a generous helping of cheese on top and if you want to heat things up a bit you can always enchilada sauce on the top!
