My baked chimichanga recipe is healthier than a deep-fried version, but it's just as delicious. You can omit the chiles for less heat. —Angela Oelschlaeger, Tonganoxie, Kansas

Ingredients

  • 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), warmed
  • 3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup fat-free half-and-half
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a nonstick skillet, simmer the chicken, salsa, onion, cumin and oregano until ingredients are heated through and most of the liquid has evaporated.
  2. Place 1/2 cup chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla; top with 2 tablespoons cheese. Fold sides and ends over filling and roll up.
  3. Place seam side down in a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the broth, bouillon and pepper. Cook until bouillon is dissolved. In a small bowl, combine flour and half-and-half until smooth; gradually stir into broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in chiles; cook until heated through. Serve with chimichangas.
