Best 9 Turkey Chimichangas Wgreen Chile Sauce Recipes

BAKED GREEN CHILE CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté them for 3 - 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften. (Note: If you are using meat, add that now too, and brown it with the onions.) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Add the quinoa to the skillet, stirring to coat it, and then add the tomato sauce, beans, and chilies or salsa verde. Bring it to a low boil, reduce the heat, and simmer it for 5 minutes, then add the tomatoes. Simmer the mixture for 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove the mixture from the heat, and spoon equal amounts into the center of each tortilla. Top it with a handful of cheese. Fold the tortillas burrito style (first fold in the ends, then roll it up), and lay them seam-side down in the baking dish. (At this point, you can bake them or refrigerate them for up to 12 hours.)
• Bake the chimichangas for 15 - 20 minutes until they are lightly browned and heated through. Serve with a scoop of extra salsa, if desired.

CHICKEN CHIMICHANGAS WITH SOUR CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts into a large saucepan. Pour in the water, and season with chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, stir in 4 ounces of green chiles, onion, and garlic; continue simmering until the liquid has reduced to 1 cup. Reserve remaining 3 ounces of chopped green chilies. Remove the chicken, shred with two forks, and return to the onion mixture.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour, and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the water and bouillon cube until the water has thickened and the bouillon cube has dissolved, about 4 minutes. Whisk in reserved 3 ounces of green chilies and the sour cream; season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place a tortilla onto your work surface, then spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken filling halfway between the bottom edge and the center of the tortilla. Flatten the filling into rectangle shape with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle about 1 ounce of the Monterey Jack cheese over the filling. Fold the bottom of the tortilla snugly over the filling, then fold in the left and right edges. Roll the chimichanga up to the top edge, forming a tight cylinder; secure the ends with wooden toothpicks. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Cook the chimichangas, 2 at a time, in the hot oil until they are crisp and golden brown on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, and remove toothpicks. Top with sour cream sauce to serve.

Remove from the heat and stir in the cheddar cheese. Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in foil and place in the oven to warm for 10 minutes. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the filling into the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll to enclose the filling. Place the chimichangas, seam-side down, on the baking sheet.

THANKSGIVING CHIMICHANGA

Steps:

• Fill a deep-fryer with peanut oil and heat to 350 degrees F. (If you do not have a deep-fryer, you can use a Dutch oven filled with about 4 inches of oil heated to 350 degrees F.)
• Allow the turkey to simmer in the gravy in a medium saucepan for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Wrap the tortillas in a clean, damp kitchen towel and microwave just long enough to make them pliable, about 20 seconds. Unwrap and lay one on the counter, and layer in your leftover ingredients, starting in the lower center of the tortilla, adding 1/4 cup each of mashed sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing and the warmed turkey in gravy. Take care to keep the ingredients away from the edges so they don't spill out.
• Fold the bottom half over the filling to the center of the tortilla. Then, fold each remaining side in. The filling should be mostly covered at this point. Roll everything away from you towards the top of the tortilla and secure the seam with toothpicks. Repeat the process until all the burritos have been rolled.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Fit a rack inside a sheet tray and set aside.
• Carefully place one burrito at a time into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oil and allow the excess oil to drain over the fryer or pot. Hold on the prepared rack in the oven while you fry the remaining chimichangas. Serve on a bed of flat leaf parsley, orange slices and cranberries. Slice the chimichangas in half, then top with the leftover warm gravy and enjoy.
