ALMOST-FAMOUS CHIMICHANGAS
It has happened to all of us: A restaurant closes and just like that, a favorite dish is gone forever. For thousands of fans of the Tex-Mex chain Chi-Chi's, which shuttered its last 65 restaurants in 2004, that dish was the chimichanga: a big tortilla stuffed with beef, seafood or chicken, lettuce, jack cheese and salsa, and topped with a secret "zesty Mexi-sauce." We've seen endless message- board posts from fans pondering the recipe and reminiscing about that unforgettable topping. Now they can taste it again: Chefs in Food Network Kitchens re-created the old favorite from memory.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Melt the butter with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet; transfer to a bowl. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the skillet. Add the onion, garlic and jalapeno and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, cinnamon and 1 teaspoon salt; toast 30 seconds. Add the tomato and cilantro and cook until slightly dry, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken and sour cream and warm through. Remove from the heat.
- Brush a rimmed baking sheet with some of the butter-oil mixture. Spread 2 tablespoons refried beans down the center of each tortilla, leaving a 2-inch border on both ends. Top with 1 cup chicken mixture and 1/4 cup cheese. Fold in the ends and roll up.
- Put the chimichangas seam-side down on the baking sheet; brush with the butter-oil mixture. Bake 8 to 10 minutes per side, brushing again after you flip. Top with the sauce, more cheese, lettuce and tomato. Serve with rice and the remaining beans.
- Saute onions and garlic cloves in a skillet with vegetable oil. Add a pinch each of chili powder, cumin, sugar and salt; cook 30 seconds. Stir in green chiles; cook 2 minutes. Add chicken broth and simmer until thickened, then puree. Stir in cilantro.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, sugar, and cinnamon to the skillet; mix to combine. Stir in lime juice. Cover and let cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are fully cooked. In a small bowl, combine the water and cornstarch. Pour into the apple mixture and let cook for about a minute or until the juice from the apples has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat the flour tortillas in skillet over medium heat until soft and pliable. Spoon 2 tablespoons of apple filling into center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides to seal in the filling, and roll up the tortilla like your would a burrito. Place seam side down on a lightly greased baking sheet. With the tip of a very sharp knife, carefully cut 2-3 diagonal slits on top of each chimichanga. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until light golden brown and crisp to the touch. Stir together 1/2 cup powdered sugar with tablespoon of milk, until well combined. If too thick add a little more milk until desired consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the chimichangas.
