Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Olive oil or cooking spray
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, diced tomatoes, olives, cilantro

  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat until it’s no longer pink (about 6-8 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before shredding it with a fork.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, half of the cheese, and half of the salsa.
  • Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center. Fold in the sides and roll it up. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • Place the chimichangas seam-side down on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spritz them with olive oil or a cooking spray.
  • Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
