Ingredients

  • A block of creamy cream cheese weighing 8 ounces
  • A generous 8 ounces of finely shredded pepper Jack cheese
  • A flavorful 1 ½ tablespoons of taco seasoning blend
  • One pound of tender, shredded cooked chicken
  • 8 soft and pliable flour tortillas
  • A mist of cooking spray for the pan
  • A cup of grated Cheddar cheese for an added layer of richness (Optional)
  • A half cup of smooth salsa, not too chunky (Optional)
  • 4 dollops of sour cream for a creamy finish (Optional)

Step 1

Prepare your oven by preheating it to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium-sized bowl, combine the creamy goodness of cream cheese, the spiciness of pepper Jack cheese, and the zesty taco seasoning. Mix in some tender cooked shredded chicken to create a delicious filling. Take the tortilla shells and evenly distribute the mixture across 8 of them. Gently fold the tortillas by first tucking in the sides and then rolling them up. Arrange these filled delights in a 9x13-inch baking dish, making sure the seam sides are facing down. Give the tops a light spritz of cooking spray for that golden touch.

Step 2

Pop the baking dish into the preheated oven and let the chimichangas bake for 15 minutes. After that, flip them over and bake for another 15 minutes until they are perfectly crispy and golden. Once done, serve these delightful chimichangas with a generous sprinkle of Cheddar cheese, a dollop of salsa, and a spoonful of creamy sour cream for a burst of flavors. Enjoy your scrumptious creation!
