Baked Chimichangas

This is such an easy, quick dinner to throw together, and it is so yummy and very filling! I think I found it on a Weight Watchers site last year when I was on my points kick. If you're a WW follower, these are only 2 points each!! There are lots of ways you can play around with this recipe. I think next time I will try some chicken along with the turkey, and if I'm feeling super crazy I might add some melted cheese on the top.



Ingredients
  • 1lb lean ground turkey or beef
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 cups chunky salsa
  • 2 tsp chili seasoning
  • 6-6inch wheat flour tortillas
  • Butter flavored cooking spray
  • Fat free sour cream (as much as you want!)
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with regular cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet, brown the meat and onion
  3. Stir in the garlic, 1 cup of salsa, and chili seasoning.
  4. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Spoon the meat mixture into the center of each tortilla and roll. (I fold in the sides first, then roll over). Place in baking dish.
  6. Lightly spray the tops of the tortillas with butter flavored cooking spray.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. When cooked, spoon the remaining salsa and sour cream on top of each chimichanga.
I chose to serve it with white rice on the side, with a little salsa and tabasco sauce mixed in for the extra Mexican flavor.
