Simple Chimichangas
Ready In: 20 mins
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 3 cups cooked chicken, chopped
- 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (I use Ro Tel)
- 6 flour tortillas
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- extra oil (for frying)
Directions
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a frying pan.
- In another frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil in frying pan. Add onion and cook until soft. Add garlic and taco seasoning and cook for about 30 seconds more.
- Add the chicken and heat thoroughly. Then add tomatoes/chiles and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Place 1/6 of the mixture into the middle of each tortilla and then top with cheese.
- Roll up bringing in sides first and then rolling front to back. Place in oil, seam side down and hold there for a few moments to keep from unrolling or "seal" with a toothpick.
- Cook until nicely browned and tortilla is crisp.
- Serve with salsa, guacamole and sour cream!
