Summer Break

This is what I have been eating most of the summer, I haven't felt like cooking much I am due in 5 weeks and its too hot to cook anything :) After I have my baby I will do better in the cooking department. Thanks for stopping by

Chicken Chimichangas

These are really yummy!! I got the recipe from bdubscafe. She has a sauce that goes over the top so if you want that go to her site. The chicken mixture is soo good I am thinking I am gonna make tamales from it but I got to find a recipe for the outside first. These are very fattening so I try not to make them all the time definetly worth it though. Hope you like as much as I do.

Chicken Chimichangas

2 Tbsp. vegetable oil

1/2 C. diced onions (see note)

1 1/2 Tsp. minced garlic

1 Tbsp. chili powder (see note)

1/4 Tsp. oregano

1/2 Tsp. cumin (see note)

1 1/2 Lbs. cooked chicken breast, shredded while warm

1 Tsp. salt

1/2 Tsp. freshly ground pepper

1 4.5oz can green chilies

1 C. shredded monterey jack cheese

8-10in flour tortillas

Heat oil in saute pan over med heat. Add onions saute till slightly softened about 2 min. Add garlic, chili powder, oregano, and cumin. Cook stirring until fragrant about 1 min, add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Stir in green chilies and cook mixture till heated through. Place tortillas in damp towel and heat in microwave till warm. One at a time, place tortillas on a work surface (keep remaining tortillas covered with towel) Spread chicken mixture about 1/2 C. onto tortilla sprinkle with 1-2 Tbsp. cheese. Fold in sides and roll up, secure with a tooth pick. Heat enough oil to cover half of chimichanga. Cook till golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towel lined plate. Remove tooth pick. Serve with whatever you like. I like sour cream and guacamole.

*Note for the onions I use green onions and I chop them really fine, and the chili powder I probably add about half of that I don't like it really spicey and for the cumin I add probably about 1 Tsp-1 1/2 Tsp. You just gotta taste to your liking :)
