How to make Shredded Chicken Chimichangas


In a skillet, saute the onion in a small amount of oil, til transluscent. Set aside. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment. Spray with cooking spray.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Take 1 tortilla and sprinkle with cheese. Then place a couple spoonfuls of chicken and onion to taste. Roll like a burrito, tucking in the sides. Place flap side down, on a baking sheet. Repeat for all 4 tortillas. Lightly coat the tops of the chimichangas with EVOO for browning. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 mins, then flip and bake another 10 minutes.

I served these with homemade guacamole, salsa, tomatoes, and sour cream. Don't forget the margarita while you're prepping! Oh, and the Mexican music on Sirius radio!

I washed it down with a Coronita.
