📝 Preparation Steps
1
Gather all ingredients and prep chicken and vegetables. Preheat oven to 400°F and grease an 8x8 oven-safe baking dish.
2
Heat the oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions and garlic and sauté for ⏱️ 2 minutes.
3
Add the chicken strips and season with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes.
chili powder ($0.19)1 Tbsp
4
Deglaze the pan with the chicken broth and reduce the liquid by half, ⏱️ 3-4 minutes.
5
Add the tomato sauce and simmer for ⏱️ 4-5 minutes until the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.
6
Once the sauce is thick, turn off the heat and stir in the Colby Jack and cream cheese until melted, ⏱️ 2 minutes.
cream cheese ($0.88)4 oz
7
To assemble the chimichangas, evenly divide the refried beans and spread them on each tortilla, leaving a 2-inch border. Add the meat filling evenly to the center of each, fold in the sides, and roll up like burritos.
8
Place the wrapped chimichangas, seam side down, into the oven-safe dish. Spray the tops with a cooking spray and bake for ⏱️ 10-15 minutes in the oven until golden brown. Remove them from the oven and top them with sour cream and any additional toppings you like!
