6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked, Shredded Chicken
- ½ cup Cilantro (Fresh)
- 1 Jalapeno
- 1 Scallion
- 6 Burrito-Sized Flour Tortillas
- ¼ cup Butter
- 3 ounces Cheddar Cheese
- 3 ounces Monterey Jack Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Sour Cream
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons Guacamole
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons Pico De Gallo

Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

- Wrap 1 tortilla in a damp paper towel and microwave until soft and pliable, about 20–25 seconds.
- To the center of the tortilla, add a sprinkle of the cheese mixture, about 3 cups of the chicken mixture, and another sprinkle of cheese. Fold the edge nearest you over the filling, fold the right and left sides in, then continue rolling up.
- Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Brush all chimichangas evenly with the melted butter.
- Bake 25–30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve topped with guacamole, pico de gallo, salsa, and sour cream as desired.
