Best Oven Fried Chicken Chimichangas

A fast, healthier way to make Chimichangas
than the traditional deep fried.
These are very good, and you may
dress them up to you own preference.
I like to serve with green chile sauce
sometimes instead of the picante sauce.

Ingredients:
2/3 cup picante sauce or your favorite salsa
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, crushed
1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 green onions, chopped with some tops (about 1/4 cup)
6 (8 inch) flour tortillas
2 tablespoons butter, melted
shredded cheddar cheese, for serving
chopped green onion, for serving
picante sauce, for serving

Directions:
Mix chicken, picante sauce or salsa,
cumin, oregano, cheese and onions.
Place about 1/4 cup of the chicken
mixture in the center of each tortilla.
Fold opposite sides over filling.
Roll up from bottom and place
seam side down on a baking sheet.
Brush with melted butter.
Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes or until golden.
Garnish with additional cheese
and green onion and serve salsa on the side.
