Equipment
Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheese, black beans, salsa, cumin, and chili powder.
- Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Place a generous scoop of the filling in the center of each tortilla.
- Fold in the sides and roll tightly from the bottom up.
- In a deep fryer or heavy pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the rolled chimichangas in the hot oil, seam-side down. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Using tongs, remove the chimichangas from the oil and place them on paper towels.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or fresh cilantro.
Notes
Let the filling cool slightly before wrapping to prevent soggy tortillas.
