These chimichangas are healthier than the classic ones because they are baked and not fried. They are still delicious and are easy to make.
2 c. cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken would be great)
1 c. salsa
1 t. ground cumin
1/2 t. dried oregano leaves, crushed
1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
2 green onions, chopped
6 - 8 inch flour tortillas
2 T. butter, melted
diced tomato, sour cream, guacamole, avocado slices, salsa, and/or shredded Cheddar cheese, for toppings, optional
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix together chicken, salsa, cumin, oregano, cheese and onions.
Place 1/3 c. chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla; fold opposite sides over filling; roll up from bottom; place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush each with melted butter.
Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve, garnished with desired toppings and salsa on the side.
