Time 40m

Yield 8 Chimichanagas, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
2 (4 1/2 ounce) cans diced green chilies
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (,or less,)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) package shredded monterey jack cheese
0.5 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 lb cooked and shredded chicken meat (about 3 cups)
8 (10 inch) flour tortillas
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped green onion (about 1 bunch)
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream

Steps:

  • Pour the cream of chicken soup into a blender along with the green chilies, jalapeno pepper and lime juice. Puree until smooth then pour into a saucepan and warm over medium-low heat.
  • Next, in a large bowl, mash together the cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese and taco seasoning until well blended. Stir into the chicken. Evenly divide mixture among the 8 tortillas, placing filling in center of tortilla. Fold top down, fold bottom up, then roll up sides to make a square packet.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Fry 4 chimichangas at a time, seam side down, until golden brown, about 90 seconds; flip with tongs and fry other side an additional 90 seconds. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
  • To serve, place a chimichanga on a plate, and ladle the warm pepper sauce over top. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and green onions. Finish with a dollop of sour cream.

These were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I thought the chimichangas were a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some more sauce next time.

The green sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but the chimichangas themselves were great.

I thought the chimichangas were a bit bland. The green sauce helped a little, but I think I'll try adding some other seasonings next time.

I've made these chimichangas a few times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is always juicy and tender, and the green sauce is the perfect balance of spicy and creamy.
