Oven "fried" Chicken Chimichangas

My adaptation of this recipe from Campbell's website.

Ingredients:
2/3 cups Pace picante sauce
taco seasoning mix
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 cup shredded cheese, either cheddar or Mexican mix
2 green onions, chopped
6 8-in tortillas
2-3 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:
Preheat oven to 400°F
Cut chicken into cubes and cook in a skillet with olive oil and taco seasoning, cook until cooked through
In bowl, mix picante sauce, cumin, oregano, cheese, and green onion

Add cooked seasoned chicken.

Place about 1/2 cup of chicken mixture in the center of tortilla, place on cookie sheet
Brush butter onto each chimichanga, making sure tortillas each have a nice coating.

Bake for 25 minutes.


Great sides are black beans and Spanish rice!
