Low Fat Chimichangas
- 1 (16 ounce) can fat-free refried beans
- 1 cup low fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning (Old El Paso is best)
- tortilla
- Pam cooking spray
- garnishes of choice lettuce, salsa, fat free sour cream
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Mix beans, cheese, and taco seasoning thoroughly.
- Microwave the tortillas for a short period to soften.
- Place a large spoonful of mixture in center of tortilla.
- Fold top down and bottom up, then fold sides over, into the shape of a chimichanga.
- Place toothpicks into chimichangas to keep tortillas closed.
- Spray both sides of chimichangas with Pam cooking spray (generic cooking spray works, but does not produce as crisp a result).
- Place chimichangas on a nonstick cookie sheet or a sheet lined with foil.
- Place chimichangas in the oven for 8 minutes.
- Remove toothpicks and turn chimichangas to other side; bake for another 5 minutes.
- Adjust cooking time as needed to obtain a crispy outside.
