Chicken Chimichangas
1 pound pinto beans, cooked with salt, soaked overnight,and prepared earlier
Cooked chicken (enough to feed your family; I used two family packages of marked down "sell by today" chicken legs, boiled with some salt and pepper and a bay leaf or two for a couple of hours, then picked off the bone)
Chopped onion or green onions to taste (we used 1/2 an onion)
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed, to taste (we used 2 cloves)
Saute the above in oil until veggies are limp.
Add:
8 oz homecanned Salsa
1-2 tsp. oregano
1/4 -1/2 tsp. cumin
You could add olives, too, if you wish.
Grease a 9X13 (I used a 9X13 and a 10X15). Put a scoopful of the above mix into a flour tortilla, add a scoop of the beans, and a sprinkle of cheese. Wrap up, and place seam side down in the greased pan. Brush with melted butter and bake at 375 for 15 minutes. Then broil for a few seconds to brown them up. Wonderful!
