Baked Chicken Chimichangas
Crispy chicken chimichanga burritos! These are so yummy and healthy because they're baked instead of fried!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large burrito-size flour tortillas
- ½ cup refried beans
- 1 cup guacamole (optional, but highly recommended!)
- 2 cups shredded chicken (see recipe below for the easy slow cooker chicken I used!)
- 1 cup shredded Mexican style cheese (cheddar, monterey, jack cheese, use your favorite!)
- oil or cooking spray
- optional: additional guacamole, salsa
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 and grease a baking sheet.
- Lay your tortillas out on a flat surface. Spread refried beans in the middle of each tortilla. Spread guacamole on top of the beans. Add shredded chicken, then shredded cheese. Roll into a burrito.
- Place burritos on prepared baking sheet. Spray generously with cooking spray, OR brush with oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the tortillas are browned and crispy. Serve warm with additional guacamole and salsa if desired.
Notes
Beans: feel free to swap out refried for black or pinto beans!
