Ingredients

3 Honey & Spice Baked Chicken breast halves, cubed
1 cup refried beans
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Oil for deep-fat frying

Directions

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Cover and microwave on high for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until heated through. Spoon 1/3 cup off-center on each tortilla; sprinkle with cheese. Fold up edge nearest filling; fold in both sides and roll up. Secure with a toothpick.

In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Cook chimichangas until golden brown, turning to cook all sides. Drain on paper towels. Serve with toppings of your choice.
