How to Make Chimichanga (Mexican Fried Burrito)
Prepare the Chicken Filling:
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and sauté garlic and onions until soft.
- Add shredded or diced boneless chicken and cook until tender.
- Stir in taco seasoning, cumin, paprika, black pepper, red chili flakes, and salt.
- Add salsa, chopped tomatoes, and a splash of lime juice for a tangy flavor.
- Mix in chopped bell peppers, jalapeños, and fresh coriander.
- Let the filling cool slightly before assembling.
Prepare the Tortilla Wraps:
- Use flour tortillas or make fresh ones with flour, salt, oil, and water.
- Roll out into thin rounds and lightly cook on a pan.
Assemble the Chimichangas:
- Place a portion of the chicken filling in the center of the tortilla.
- Add grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) and a dollop of sour cream.
- Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito.
- Seal the edges with a little flour-water paste if needed.
Fry to Perfection:
- Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the chimichangas until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain excess oil on paper towels.
(Alternative: Brush with oil and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15 minutes, flipping halfway.)
Enjoy!
