CHICKEN CHIMICHANGAS
These chicken chimichangas are baked instead of fried, so they're extra easy!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 small white onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 jalapeno pepper minced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup salsa verde

INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy bottomed skillet. Add the onions, garlic, and jalapeno and cook until onions are soft, about 5 minutes.

- Add the tomato and cilantro and cook for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the chicken and sour cream. Remove from heat.
- Lay one tortilla on a flat surface and spread with a thin layer of refried beans. Top with 1/4 of the chicken mixture and 1/4 of the cheese.
- Fold in the edges of the tortilla and roll up tightly. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Place tortillas on a rimmed baking sheet and brush with the melted butter.
