Chocolate Banana Chimichangas Recipes

BANANAS FOSTER CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter . Stir in bananas and sugar, and stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour in rum and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Spoon half the banana mixture onto each flour tortilla, and roll up, tucking in the ends, like a burrito.
• In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry chimichangas until golden. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.

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.

BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• Place banana in tortilla shell. Sprinkle chunks of chocolate on banana. Roll banana & chocolate in the flour tortillas. Seal edges with water like when frying a wonton and deep fry until tortilla is crispy and blistered. Drain; then roll in a cinnamon and sugar mix. Can be served with or without ice cream and you decide on the size. This recipe is from Stu Pickells Kitchen.

CHOCOLATE CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium heat in skillet or fry baby. If using an omelette size skillet, fill about 1/3 with oil.
• Tortilla is less likely to crack when you fold it if you microwave it for about 5-8 seconds right before you are ready to put chocolate bar inches.
• Break the Hershey bar up into 2-3 pieces. Pile the chocolate in the tortilla, leaving enough room so that no chocolate is exposed when you fold it. Fold both ends over, then roll to make a little burrito. Make sure all chocolate is covered. If any of it gets into the hot oil, it is a nasty mess. I usually test the oil by tearing off a little piece of tortilla--if it sizzles then the oil is ready.
• Using tongs to hold the chimichanga together, gently place the chimichanga into the hot oil. Let cook for a couple of minutes until bottom is golden & crispy. Then GENTLY flip over, careful not to let any chocolate spill out. Cook until that side is also golden & crispy. (Don't be suprised if you ruin one on the first try, it takes a little practice to get it just right.).
• Drain the grease by placing chimichanga on a paper towel. Then put it into a bowl or plate & top with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream. (The old fashioned kind is my favorite.) Drizzle with chocolate syrup for presentation. It's so rich that 2 people usually share one of these.

SWEET BANANA CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add bananas and sugar; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Stir in whiskey. Add honey; simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors are combined, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Heat tortillas one at a time in a microwave until pliable, about 8 seconds.
• Spoon some of the banana mixture onto the bottom third of a tortilla. Fold in opposing edges and roll tortilla up tightly like a burrito, securing ends with toothpicks. Repeat with remaining mixture and tortillas.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
