Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: These chimichangas are baked not fried. Great for dinner or lunch, kids love them. I like to make a extra batch to keep in the freezer, they are excellent reheated. Serve with sour cream and salas...and a little extra cilantro for garnish.
Ingredients:
1 (20 ounce) package simply potatoes diced potatoes with onion
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup corn
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded
12 large flour tortillas
1/2 cup vegetable oil

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients, except oil and tortillas.
3. Divide potato bean mixture between tortillas.
4. Roll up tortillas in a burrito fashion and place on a sheet pan. Allowing at least a 1 1/2 inch space between chimichangas.
5. Brush each chimichanga very well with vegetable oil.
