Instructions

  1. Heat oil to 375℉.
  2. Spread 1/2 cup of refried beans in the middle of a flour tortilla leaving about 2-3 inches empty on the sides.
  3. Spread about 3/4 cup of Mexican shredded chicken on top of the refried beans and sprinkle cheese on top.
  4. Fold tortilla over the fillings then fold both sides toward the middle.
  5. Roll up the tortilla to create a burrito shape.
  6. Fry chimichanga in the hot oil for 4-5 minutes turning over half way for all the sides to get fried to a deep golden brown. Using tongs place on a paper towel to cool.
  7. Serve with your choice of toppings like sour cream, cilantro, guacamole, salsa, lettuce and tomatoes.

Notes

  • It's important to use the extra large tortillas for this recipe because the tortilla will puff up while it's frying and you want to keep the insides from coming out.
