Vegetarian Ww Skinny Chimichangas Recipes

VEGETARIAN BAKED CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F, then lightly oil a 15" baking SHEET.
• FOR THE FILLING, in large bowl, combine beans, olives, green chilies, slaw mix, cheese & 1 cup salsa, & mix well.
• Wrap tortillas in cloth towel & microwave on HIGH 1 1/2 minutes.
• Divide filling evenly among the 6 tortillas, spooning it onto each tortilla in a narrow band just off center & with each end of the narrow band of filling ending about 1 1/2 inches from the edge of the tortilla.
• Roll tortilla over filling, then fold ends over, tucking them under the roll, if necessary securing each end with wooden picks.
• Spray each tortilla lightly with PAM, then place each tortilla seam side down on baking sheet.
• Bake up to 15 minutes until golden brown, then using a spatula, flip each chimichanga over.
• Cook other side 4-10 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve topped with salsa, sour cream, green onions & almonds.

BAKED VEGETARIAN CHIMICHANGAS (WARM OR COLD)

Steps:

• Sauté the chopped onion, garlic, and mushrooms (if using) in olive oil until onion is soft.
• Add the chopped chilies, flatten mixture in bottom of pan and sauté, not stirring, until the onions begin to caramelize a little, then remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, mix remaining ingredients except tortillas.
• To put together the chimichangas, place about 3/4 to 1 cup of filling on a tortilla, fold the bottom over the filling, fold the sides in, then carefully fold/flip it over to close; repeat until you have as many chimichangas as you want to bake at one time.
• Place the chimichangas on a cookie sheet, brush each one with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil, and bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes.
• Sprinkle each with grated cheddar, serve with extra sour cream, guacamole, and salsa, and enjoy!
• Makes 8 to 10 large chimichangas, depending on the amount of filling you put in each.
• (Black soybeans are good for those eating low carb because they are lower in carbohydrates and high in fiber. Information on black soybeans available at the Eden Foods website.).
• Note: To make these for a picnic or potluck, instead of baking them as I would at home, I make the filling and put it in a container, then bring tortillas and toppings and set them all out so folks can make their own sort of burritos. It's very popular! :).
