Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium taco seasoning
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 whole wheat flour tortillas
- 0 cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons diced green onions (optional)
- 0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt (optional, for topping)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken breast, taco seasoning, salsa, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Step 3
Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
Step 4
Fold the sides of the tortilla toward the center, then roll it up tightly, securing the filling inside to form a chimichanga.
Step 5
Place the chimichangas seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops and sides with the olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 6
Bake the chimichangas for 18-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm, optionally garnished with diced green onions, a dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt, and fresh cilantro.
