Taste of Mexican cuisine (Chicken chimichanga )
Presenting /plating / by chef Mahesh shah.
Today’s special of the day in Wenty Leauges club , Wentworthville, Sydney, Australia.
These Chicken Chimichangas are one of the ultimate comfort foods! Flour tortillas are layered with refried beans, seasoned shredded chicken and cheese, then they’re wrapped and fried for a perfectly crisp, oh so satisfying texture.
Chicken Chimichangas
My delicious absolutely loves this easy Chicken Chimichangas recipe! A delicious crispy burrito served topped with sour cream, guacamole and salsa.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken , chopped or shredded
1 can refried beans
1/2 cup salsa , your favorite kind
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves , crushed
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup shredded cheese , cheddar or Mexican blend
2 green onions , chopped
3 Tablespoons oil (vegetable or canola oil)
6 large flour tortillas
Instructions
Cook chicken breasts in frying pan until tender and no longer pink. Allow to rest for a few minutes before chopping.
Add refried beans, chicken, cheese, salsa, spices, and green onions to a mix bowl and mix to combine.
Place about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla.
Fold opposite sides over filling and roll up like a burrito.
For baked chimichangas, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brush chimichangas lightly with oil and bake for about 25 minutes, until golden and crispy.
For pan fried chimichangas, heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add oil to skillet and place chimichangas seam side down. Turn lightly every 2-30 seconds until lightly golden on all sides.
Serve warm, topped with salsa and sour cream and a side of Authentic Mexican Rice .
