Chicken Chimichangas image

Tortillas filled with a chicken, rice, beans and olive mixture - rolled, fried and topped with a piquant avocado mix, sour cream and cheese, all served on a bed of lettuce. Being raised 12 miles from the border of Mexico, I was brought up on Mexican food and learned how to make many of the dishes.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 ½ cups chicken broth
1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
½ cup red enchilada sauce
1 ½ onion, diced, divided
6 (12 inch) flour tortillas
4 cups diced cooked chicken breast, divided
1 pound Monterey Jack cheese, shredded, divided
1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives
4 cups refried beans, divided
¼ cup vegetable oil
3 avocados, peeled and pitted
½ cup finely chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 green onions, diced
¼ cup finely chopped jalapeno chile peppers
1 tomato, diced
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan combine the broth, rice, sauce, and 1 diced onion. Mix and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 20 minutes, or until rice is tender.
  • Meanwhile, heat tortillas in a large skillet (so that they are soft enough to fold).
  • When rice mixture is ready, spoon equal amounts of the following onto each tortilla: Chicken, shredded Jack cheese, diced onion, olives, rice mixture and beans. Roll tortillas, tucking in sides to prevent filling from spilling over.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet and fry the filled tortillas, turning, until browned on all sides. Drain on paper towels.
  • To Serve: In a medium bowl combine the avocados, cilantro, lemon juice, green onions, chile peppers and tomatoes. Mash together. Place shredded lettuce on a platter, topped with chimichangas, avocado mix, sour cream and shredded Cheddar cheese.
