We love Mexican Food. This is a cross between A Burrito and a Chimichanga, BUT NO Deep-frying! Loved it when I ran across this some time ago.

Ingredients

  • - 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • - 1 cup chunky red salsa, mild or medium
  • - 1-4 oz. can diced chilies
  • - 4 burrito sized flour tortillas
  • - 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • - 1 cup red enchilada sauce

How To Make chimichito!

  • Step 1
    Heat oven to 400F In a bowl combine Chicken, salsa and chilies.
  • Step 2
    Heat the tortillas just a little in a dry skillet to make them pliable. Spoon the mixture on the tortillas. Roll them up Burrito style. Bottom over the mixture, sides in and then roll away from you.
  • Step 3
    Place on a baking sheet brush top of each one lightly with oil. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes.
  • Step 4
    While they are baking heat your enchilada sauce either in a small pot on the stove or in the microwave. When serving place some warm sauce on a plate, lay a chimichito on top, add a spoon of sour cream, cheese and some cilantro. Enjoy! Note: Sometimes I also add cheese to the filling, like mine! :-)
