Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 cup Refried beans
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 6 pieces Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Guacamole
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, refried beans, chili powder, and ground cumin. Mix until well combined.
Step 2
Lay a tortilla flat and place about 1/3 cup of the filling mixture in the center. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly to form a burrito-like shape. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 4
Carefully place one or two chimichangas in the hot oil, seam side down, and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to turn and remove them from the oil. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining chimichangas.
Step 5
Serve the chimichangas on a plate topped with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and guacamole. Enjoy your Cha Cha Cha Chimichangas warm!
