Banana Nutella Chimichangas Recipes

BANANA NUTELLA CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• In a 9" cast iron skillet, heat the canola oil to 350°.
• While the oil is heating, warm the tortillas in the microwave or oven.
• Dice the banana and mix it with the cinnamon, cayenne pepper and hazelnuts. Once the oil has reached the right temperature, spread each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of Nutella in the center, in about a 4" x 3" rectangle.
• Add the spiced banana mixture in a small clump on top of the Nutella, almost in the center of the tortilla but more towards one side than the other.
• Take the side of the tortilla with the bananas closer to the edge and begin rolling up the tortilla, tucking in the sides as you go so that all ingredients are completely enclosed. Secure with 2 or 3 toothpicks.
• Drop them carefully into the hot oil and fry for about 1 minute on each side. Keep in mind that because you are using a cast iron skillet to fry, the side of the tortilla touching the pan will brown quickly. Once the chimichangas are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel before eating.

CHOCOLATE BANANA CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, combine bananas, chocolate sauce, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
• Lay out 1 sheet phyllo onto a flat surface.
• Spray lightly with cooking spray and fold in half lengthwise.
• Turn sheet so one of the narrower ends is facing you.
• Place 1/6 mixture about 1 inch from the bottom and about 1 inch from each side.
• Roll one quarter of the length of the phyllo, then fold in sides and continue rolling the length of the phyllo (as you would a burrito or wrap).
• Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and place on baking sheet with open flap down.
• Lightly spray the exterior of chimichangas with cooking spray and dust with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
• Place in oven immediately and bake 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
