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.
CHIMICHANGAS
Though still debated, Tucson is generally credited as the original home of the chimichanga (fried "burro", as we call them, stuffed with meat, onions and chiles). I've combined several recipes into this one, and it's fairly authentic. -Laura Towns, Glendale, Arizona

RIVILCHAS
From the website of June Meyer who chronicles the home recipes of her mother on her website. Rivilchas are similar to the German spatzle and commonly used to strech out Hunagrian soups and stews. From her description, these are a bit noodle and a bit mini-dumpling. I have not tried this recipe but am posting it for the Zaar World Tour.

Steps:
- Mix the flour, eggs and salt together in a medium bowl.
- Knead to make a stiff dough. If the dough is too stiff to work, sprinkle in a small amount of water.
- Grate the dough on the medium side of a grater. Your Rivilchas should be the size of dried peas.
- Let the dough drops dry for 1/2 hour and then add to boiling water 1/2 cup at a time and cook till done (a few minutes).
- Drain and serve in hot Beef Soup, hot Chicken Soup or Tomato Soup.
- Note: If you have a large pot of boiling soup, you can cook these Rivilchas directly in the soup.
