ALMOST-FAMOUS CHIMICHANGAS

It has happened to all of us: A restaurant closes and just like that, a favorite dish is gone forever. For thousands of fans of the Tex-Mex chain Chi-Chi's, which shuttered its last 65 restaurants in 2004, that dish was the chimichanga: a big tortilla stuffed with beef, seafood or chicken, lettuce, jack cheese and salsa, and topped with a secret "zesty Mexi-sauce." We've seen endless message- board posts from fans pondering the recipe and reminiscing about that unforgettable topping. Now they can taste it again: Chefs in Food Network Kitchens re-created the old favorite from memory.

Almost-Famous Chimichangas image

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Melt the butter with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet; transfer to a bowl. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the skillet. Add the onion, garlic and jalapeno and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, cinnamon and 1 teaspoon salt; toast 30 seconds. Add the tomato and cilantro and cook until slightly dry, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken and sour cream and warm through. Remove from the heat.
  • Brush a rimmed baking sheet with some of the butter-oil mixture. Spread 2 tablespoons refried beans down the center of each tortilla, leaving a 2-inch border on both ends. Top with 1 cup chicken mixture and 1/4 cup cheese. Fold in the ends and roll up.
  • Put the chimichangas seam-side down on the baking sheet; brush with the butter-oil mixture. Bake 8 to 10 minutes per side, brushing again after you flip. Top with the sauce, more cheese, lettuce and tomato. Serve with rice and the remaining beans.
  • Saute onions and garlic cloves in a skillet with vegetable oil. Add a pinch each of chili powder, cumin, sugar and salt; cook 30 seconds. Stir in green chiles; cook 2 minutes. Add chicken broth and simmer until thickened, then puree. Stir in cilantro.

BAKED CHICKEN CHIMICHANGAS

I developed this quick and easy recipe through trial and error. I used to garnish it with sour cream, too, but I eliminated it in order to lighten the recipe. My friends all love it when I cook these chimichangas, and they're much healthier than deep-fried. -Rickey Madden, Clinton, South Carolina

Beef Chimichangas image

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Brown the ground beef, onion, garlic, taco seasoning, and oregano in a skillet over medium heat, breaking the meat up into crumbles as it cooks, about 8 minutes. Drain off excess fat. Stir in sour cream, chilies, and vinegar until well mixed. Remove from heat, and mix in the Cheddar cheese.
  • Melt margarine in a small skillet over low heat. When melted, dip each tortilla into the margarine for about 30 seconds, or until soft. Place the softened tortilla onto a baking sheet, and fill with about 1/3 cup of the meat mixture. Fold the right and left sides of the tortilla over the filling, then the top and bottom, making an envelope that completely encloses the filling. Flip the tortilla seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the tortilla is crisp, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

  • 1. In large skillet, brown ground beef and onions until beef is no longer pink. Drain well.
  • 2. Stir in green chiles, tomato sauce, water, and taco seasoning packet. (If you are using your own taco seasoning, you probably won't need quite as much water. I used about 1/3 cup). Bring to a boil, then turn down heat and simmer for about 8 minutes, or until thickened. Stir in refried beans.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper or foil (spray foil with non stick spray). Spoon about 1/3 cup meat mixture onto tortilla. Top with 3 tablespoons of shredded cheese (it is slightly possible that I may have used more than that!), and 1 tablespoon of salsa verde. You could use red salsa here, whatever you prefer. Fold up the four sides of the tortilla (see pictures), and place seam side down on prepared baking sheet. Brush chimichangas lightly and evenly with oil (or spray them with canola cooking spray).
  • 4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with your favorite toppings!

1 lb ground chuck
1 cup chopped onion
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 (15 ounce) can refried beans
8 burrito-size flour tortillas
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican blend cheese
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa, divided
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (I used vegetable spray instead)

Steps:

  • After stewing the meat on a crockpot or pan drain off liquid and reserve.
  • Shred and chop meat-set aside.
  • In a large skillet cook onion and garlic with just a touch of oil and cook until onion is just browning.
  • Add the meat, chilies, oregano, salt and red pepper and cook on low for 10 minutes.
  • Add adobo sauce if needed, you don't want a totaly dry mixture and you dont want it soggy.

  • Lay out 3 or 4 at a time and slightly off center place some cheese and then about 1/2 a cup of meat mixture and fold envelope style.
  • Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet-repeat.
  • Lightly oil the tops and bake in a 425 oven for 20 minutes or a 375 oven for 35-40 minutes-your choice.
  • With the juices from the cooked meat I make a spicy gravy to offer with this.
  • When done remove from oven.
  • Serve with condiments, spanish rice and refried beans.
  • Believe me when I say you will roll away from the table!

BAKED CHIMICHANGAS

Ok, ok. I know. These aren't really chimichangas. But I'm from Ohio, where if you use a tortilla it is Mexican food. ;-) I made these as written, but I am also looking forward to trying them with some ground beef or some carnitas. This was originally written to use a toaster oven but I don't have one of those so I used the regular conventional oven. You can definitely use a toaster oven if you have one though. Use the "high" setting if your toaster oven does not have a temperature control dial. Originally from Rachael Ray via the Food Network website.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, combine turkey and chili powder (and other seasonings, if using). Add cabbage, chipotles, tomato sauce, and scallions. Toss filling to combine well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place tortillas in a kitchen towel and place in microwave. Microwave 1 minute on high.
  • To build the chimichangas, place one of the tortillas on a flat surface. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese near one edge of the tortilla. Pile 1/4 of the filling on top. Tuck sides up and roll tightly. Repeat with remaining tortillas, cheese, and filling.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (DO NOT do this if you are using a toaster oven. Apparently foil can wreck the oven). Brush a thin layer of oil over the foil (If using a toaster oven, brush the oil directly on the baking tray).
  • Place chimichangas on prepared sheet. Brush lightly, but completely, with oil.
  • Bake until wraps are deeply golden, about 15-17 minutes.
  • Serve with sour cream, cilantro, tomatoes, and salsa, if desired.

1 lb smoked deli turkey, chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder (I also mix in other spicy spices as the mood strikes me)
2 cups cabbage, shredded (I used the bagged coleslaw mix)
1 -2 chipotle chile in adobo, depending on desired level of spiciness
1 cup tomato sauce
3 scallions, chopped
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
4 burrito-size flour tortillas
1/2 cup monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
2 tablespoons cilantro (optional) or 2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped (optional)
1 yellow tomatoes, seeded and chopped (optional)
1/2 cup salsa (optional)
