Gimme-Changas ... Mother Hubbards Chimichangas!
- 2 whole Chicken Breasts
- 3 Tablespoons Light Soya Sauce
- 1 pinch Sugar
- 1/2 whole Onion, Sliced Thin
- 2 cloves Garlic, Chopped
- 1 whole Sweet Potato, Diced
- 8 whole Mushrooms Sliced Thin
- 1/2 cups Sour Cream
- 4 Tablespoons Cheddar Cheese, Grated
- 4 Tablespoons Blue Cheese, Crumbled
- 3 whole Chopped Scallions / Spring Onions
- 1 package Flour Tortillas
- 1.
- Marinate the chicken in the soya sauce and sugar for about 30 minutes.
- 2.
- Fry the onion and garlic in some olive oil and add the chicken breasts.
- I fried mine whole and then removed and chopped them after they were cooked, but you can chop the breasts before theyre cooked, if you wish.
- 3.
- When the chicken is almost done (approximately 5 minutes on high), add the sweet potatoes and mushrooms and cook for about 10 minutes on medium heat with the lid on.
- Taste first and then season.
- Turn off the heat and let cool.
- 4.
- Add the sour cream, as much cheddar and blue cheese as you like, and spring onions.
- Mix well and set aside.
- 5.
- To prepare the tortillas, you can microwave them on medium heat for about 20 seconds so they are soft and pliable.
- We dont use a microwave, so I made do with a very hot (clean) tea towel, that I placed in a big bowl and covered with boiling water and wrung out (wearing gloves of course).
- Place the tortillas inside the hot tea towel and let them steam for a few minutes while you sit down with a cuppa and rest your weary legs.
- 6.
- To make the chimichangas, place a tortilla on a chopping board or plate, place a large tablespoon of the filling in the middle and fold the sides in to make an envelope.
- Place in a baking dish and work on the rest of the chimichangas.
- When they are nestled in the baking dish, brush with more olive oil and bake in a hot oven for 30 minutes.
- I had a packet of 10 small tortillas, and we filled all of them with a little filling leftover.
- These are the perfect rainy day food, good to eat while watching movies in the afternoon!
