Chimichitos! Ole!!
This recipe is from Sam the Cooking Guy. Have you ever seen his show? So funny!!
Part chimichanga (the crunchy outside) and part burrito (the inside) this is made totally simple by using a rotisserie chicken. But the crunchiness is from baking, not frying.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked (rotisserie) chicken, shredded OR just bake your own chicken and shred it
1 4 oz can diced green chilies
3/4 cup red salsa
1/2 cup enchilada sauce
Four 8 inch flour tortillas (whole wheat, if you can find them!)
cilantro, if you like
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a non-stick pan, combine chicken, salsa and green chiles, mix until just heated through. Heat tortillas in microwave about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
Spoon 1/4 of the chicken mixture on each tortilla and roll up—sides in first then over the top to keep everything in. Place on a greased baking sheet and very lightly rub top of burrito with vegetable oil.
Bake until just starting to get golden brown,15-20 minutes. While they cook, warm the enchilada sauce.
Spoon warm enchilada sauce on a plate, place baked chimichito on top, add you're done! Sometimes (when we're really hungry) we skip the enchilada sauce alltogether, and just eat 'em plain. Of course, for the non dairy-free version, adding sour cream and cheddar cheese would be awesome.
We were so rushed at dinner last night that I forgot to take a pic. And the leftovers are gone already (they're THAT GOOD!). So you'll just have to make them yourself to see what they look like. Sorry!
