Ingredients
- 3 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ onion (chopped)
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 teaspoons adobo seasoning
- ½ cup corn (drained)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- ½ cup black refried beans
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 6 large tortillas
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat oil over medium high and add in onions. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until onions begin to soften and turn translucent.
- Add in ground turkey and adobo seasoning. Continue cooking 5-6 minutes, stirring as needed, until turkey browns and is cooked through. Add the corn and tomato paste. Mix well. Remove from heat.
- Add a tablespoon of refried beans to the center of the tortillas, spread it out over the half of the inside radius of the tortilla. Next, layer over it about 2-3 tablespoons of ground turkey mixture, next, top with 2 tablespoons of cheese. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Fold tortilla over like a burrito, ensuring the ends are tucked in and place the chimichangas seam side down over a baking pan. Repeat with all chimichangas.
- Spray the top of the chimichangas with cooking spray, this helps keep it from burning and gives it a beautiful golden color.
- Bake for 20 minutes for cheese to melt and everything to heat through.
- If desired, place under the broiler for up to a minute for a gentle smokey roasted taste.
- Serve warm.
