This is a WONDERFUL and LOWFAT recipe adapted from a Southern Living cookbook. It is so quick and simple!! The chimichangas are CRISPY and delicious!!!! Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) can fat-free refried beans |
1 cup low fat shredded cheddar cheese |
1 tablespoon taco seasoning (old el paso is best) |
tortilla |
pam cooking spray |
garnishes of choice lettuce, salsa, fat free sour cream |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Mix beans, cheese, and taco seasoning thoroughly.
3. Microwave the tortillas for a short period to soften.
4. Place a large spoonful of mixture in center of tortilla.
5. Fold top down and bottom up, then fold sides over, into the shape of a chimichanga.
6. Place toothpicks into chimichangas to keep tortillas closed.
7. Spray both sides of chimichangas with Pam cooking spray (generic cooking spray works, but does not produce as crisp a result).
8. Place chimichangas on a nonstick cookie sheet or a sheet lined with foil.
9. Place chimichangas in the oven for 8 minutes.
10. Remove toothpicks and turn chimichangas to other side; bake for another 5 minutes.
11. Adjust cooking time as needed to obtain a crispy outside.
12. Garnish as desired.
