Chimichangas

Guacamole

Method

Chimichangas

  1. 1

    Heat 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Sauté finely chopped onion and minced garlic in the oil until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add shredded chicken, refried beans, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until heated through and flavors meld, about 4-6 minutes.

  4. 4

    Place about 1/4 cup of filling onto each tortilla and top with 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.

  5. 5

    In a deep skillet, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry chimichangas, turning to golden brown on all sides, about 2-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Optional: For a lighter option, bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes until crisp. Serve hot with guacamole.

Guacamole

  1. 7

    Halve the avocados, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a bowl.

  2. 8

    Mash the avocado to desired texture (chunky or smooth).

  3. 9

    Stir in diced tomato, finely chopped onion, lime juice, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using).

  4. 10

    Season with salt to taste. Adjust lime juice if needed. Refrigerate briefly if not serving immediately.
