Chimichangas

Chimichangas are crispy, deep-fried burritos filled with savory, spiced ingredients. This kosher version features tender chicken, beans, and a blend of spices, creating a delightful Mexican lunch dish.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 200 grams, cooked and shredded
• Black beans - 100 grams, drained and rinsed
• Cheddar cheese - 50 grams, shredded
• Tortillas (kosher) - 2 large (10-inch)
• Olive oil - 50 ml (for frying)
• Onion - 1 small, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Sour cream - 50 grams (for serving)
• Guacamole - 50 grams (for serving)
• Fresh cilantro - for garnish

Steps

1. In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent.
2. Add the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper; cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, sautéed onion mixture, and shredded cheese.
4. Place a tortilla on a flat surface and spoon half of the filling mixture in the center. Fold in the sides and roll it up tightly to form a burrito. Repeat with the second tortilla.
5. In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chimichangas seam side down.
