Mango Chimichangas With Raspberry Sauce Recipes

MANGO CHIMICHANGAS WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. TO MAKE THE SAUCE: In a blender or food processor, puree the raspberries, sugar, and lime juice. Strain through a fine-meshed sieve into a small bowl to remove the raspberry seeds. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. 2. TO MAKE THE CHIMICHANGAS: Lay a mango on a work surface, plump side down. The mango pit is long and flat, and runs horizontally through the fruit, so the trick is to cut the flesh away without hitting the pit. Using a sharp, thin-bladed knife, slice off the top third of the mango, cutting around the pit. Turn the mango over and slice off the other side. Repeat with the remaining mangoes. One piece at a time, using a large serving spoon, scoop out the mango flesh in one piece from the peel. Cut the mango flesh into 3f4-inch cubes. Place in a medium bowl and toss with the granulated sugar, lime juice, cornstarch, and lime zest. 3. In a dry medium skillet over medium heat, heat a tortilla, turning once, until pliable, about 30 seconds. Place on a work surface. Place one fourth of the mango mixture on the bottom third of the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold up the bottom of the tortilla to enclose the filling, fold in the sides, and roll up into a thick cylinder. Secure the chimichanga closed with wooden toothpicks. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. 4. Preheat the oven to 200°F. Place a large wire cake rack over a jelly roll pan. In a deep Dutch oven, melt vegetable shortening over high heat to a depth of 2 to 3 inches and heat it to 365°F. In batches, without crowding, deep-fry the chimichangas until golden, about 3 minutes. Using kitchen tongs, transfer the chimichangas to the wire rack to drain, and keep warm in the oven while frying the rest. 5. To serve, spoon equal amounts of the sauce into the centers of 4 dinner plates. Place a chimichanga on each plate and sift confectioners' sugar over the entire plate. Serve immediately.

MANGOES AND RASPBERRIES IN PROSECCO SYRUP

Steps:

• For the syrup: In a medium saucepan, bring the Prosecco, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, star anise, and cinnamon stick to a boil, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat, until the sugar has dissolved. Reduce the heat and simmer for 35 minutes until the mixture has reduced by half. Add the mangoes and raspberries to the syrup and allow the mixture to cool for 1 1/2 hours. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fruit and spoon into serving bowls. Discard the cinnamon stick and star anise. Pour the syrup into a pitcher. Refrigerate the fruit and syrup until ready to serve.;
• Whipped cream: For the cream: In a medium bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream at high speed until thick. Add the sugar and continue to beat until the cream holds stiff peaks. Add the lemon zest and mix until just combined.
• To serve: Put a dollop of cream on top of the fruit and drizzle each dish with the Prosecco syrup.

4-BERRY CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• Put the cream cheese and preserves in a small bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Lay out the tortillas and place a quarter of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each, spreading the mixture out so there is a 3/4-inch border around the edge. Fold in 2 of the opposite sides of each tortilla and roll to form a small burrito. Set aside.
• Combine the sugar and lime zest on a small plate.
• Heat 1 inch of the vegetable oil in a large skillet to 325 degrees F. Carefully fry the chimichangas until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from the oil and toss in the lime sugar.
• Serve immediately, topped with the berries and whipped cream. Accompany with some extra preserves on the side.

CARIBBEAN CHIMICHANGAS WITH JAMAICAN PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix together chicken, black beans, onions, corn, cilantro, jalapeño peppers, rice and Jamaican jerk seasoning.
• On each tortilla, spoon about 1/3 to 1/2 cup chicken mixture just below center. Fold two sides of tortillas over filling. Fold over top and bottom edges of tortillas, making rectangles; secure with wooden picks.
• On greased baking sheet, place tortillas, folded side down. Spray chimichangas with cooking spray and bake in 425°F oven for 15 minutes, turning once.
• Remove picks and serve with mango pepper dipping sauce.
• Mango pepper dipping sauce: In medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients. Store in refrigerator until chimichangas are finished baking. Whisk again just before serving.
• For my friends who are also doing the WW Core program, this can be easily modified to meet the program. First, use brown not white rice. In making the sauce, use a lesser amount of water in place of the nectar. Also, skip the brown sugar or use Splenda. Now your only non-Core ingredient are the tortillas. Count points for those. I used a fat free version that was 3 points for 2 tortillas. If you are saving points, it's a wonderful entree salad with a fruity mango dressing.

Continue working in the butter until completely incorporated and there are no dry crumbs. Squeeze mixture together to create pea-size to half-inch clumps.
• Add the raspberries to the mangoes, and divide the mixture among four small baking dishes. Place 1/4 of the nut-and-flour mixture on top of each baking dish, allowing some of the fruit to show through. Bake until top is golden brown and the fruit juices are thick and bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven; place on a wire rack until slightly warm.

• Place the chicken breasts into a large saucepan. Pour in the water, and season with chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, stir in 4 ounces of green chiles, onion, and garlic; continue simmering until the liquid has reduced to 1 cup. Reserve remaining 3 ounces of chopped green chilies. Remove the chicken, shred with two forks, and return to the onion mixture.
