Chicken Chimichangas

My daughter loves chimichangas, so these are perfect to make at home!

Ingredients

4 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup refried beans
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
1 packet of taco seasoning
½ cup salsa
½ cup sour cream
8 burrito-size flour tortillas
Oil, for frying

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix 4 cups shredded cooked chicken, 1 cup refried beans, 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, 1 packet taco seasoning, 1/2 cup salsa, and 1/2 cup sour cream until well combined.
Divide the filling among 8 burrito-size flour tortillas and place the filling in the center of the tortillas.
Bring the two sides over the middle of the filling, then tightly roll to form a little package.
Secure the package with two toothpicks and repeat with all the tortillas.
Heat about 2-3 inches of oil in a heavy bottom skillet to 350°F.
Fry the chimichangas until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes total. You may need to flip them often so they don’t burn. Do not crowd the pan; you will need to fry in batches. Keep an eye on the oil temperature so that it doesn’t get too hot.
Place the finished chimichangas on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil, and then place them on a wire rack over a sheet tray to keep them crispy.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
