    Recipe Introduction


    Trying to avoid the deep fryer? You can still enjoy the delicious, Mexican meal in casserole form, with delicious cream sauce to boot.

    List of Ingredients




    Baked Chimichangas


    2 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
    1 cup salsa
    1 small onion, chopped
    3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    6 flour tortillas (10 inches)
    3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
    1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
    2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
    1/8 teaspoon pepper
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour

    Recipe




    In a nonstick skillet, simmer chicken, salsa, onion, cumin and oregano until heated through and most of the liquid has evaporated.

    Place 1/2 cup down the center of each tortilla; top with 2 tablespoons cheese.

    Fold sides and ends over filling and roll up.

    Place seam side down in a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray.

    Bake, uncovered, at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

    Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat the broth, bouillon and pepper until bouillon is dissolved.

    Combine flour and cream until smooth; stir into the broth.

    Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

    Stir in chilies and heat through.

    To serve, cut chimichangas in half; spoon sauce over the top.
