CHICKEN TINGA CHIMICHANGAS


Hello everyone! Today I'm giving a food recipe. Im pretty nervous because Samantha usually does this section and she is an amazing cook. 
So I decided tostay away from hard recipes (haha) and give you my Tex Mex favorite super easy chimichanga recipe.

INGREDIENTS:
6 flour tortillas
1 can of refried beans
500gms shredded chicken
1/2 onion
4 red tomatoes
3 - 4 chipotles
sour cream 
lettuce
cooking oil

STEPS:
First, you make the Chicken Tinga which is super easy all you have to do is cut half an onion in slices and fry it in one tbs of cooking oil. Mean while put in the blender the tomatoes and chipotles and blend them. Then put the shredded chicken with the onions and pour over the sauce and let it cook for 10 mins. Thats its for the chicken. This is how it should look: (add salt if necessary).




Now for the actual chimichanga take a flower tortilla and smudge the refried beens right in the middle of it. Like this:



Then put the chicken tinga over the beens


Then fold the sides like this:



And it should have a rectangular shape. Then I take the side that is left with the corners and with both my hands I place it downwards on the saucepan (saucepan should half plenty cooking oil to fry the chimichanga)
NOTE: Do not place chimichanga until the cooking oil is hot! If you do it before the tortilla will absorb all the oil.

Let if fry just 1 min or until brown on each side


Then place in a plate with paper towels to get rid of the excess oil.


Top it off with some sour cream that will melt over it. YUMY! and I like to garnish it with some veggies and rice. 


I hope you guys enjoyed my recipe. See ya next time :D

Love and Kisses,
