Ingredients for Kid's Chimi

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Fries

    Preheat the oven and cook the French fries according to package instructions until golden and crispy.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, then add the shredded chicken or ground beef. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook until heated through (about 5-7 minutes).

  3. 3

    Assemble the Chimis

    Lay a tortilla flat and spoon 1/2 cup of the chicken or beef mixture in the center. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on top. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chimis

    In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil and heat over medium heat. Place the rolled chimi seam side down in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the chimis hot with a side of cooked rice and crispy fries. Add optional toppings like sour cream, salsa, or guacamole as desired.
