Baked Chicken and Rice Chimichangas
Prep:10m
Cook:30m
Ready in:40m
Serving:4 chimichangas

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups cooked shredded chicken
  • ⅓ cup salsa
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 (5.6 ounce) package Knorr® Fiesta Sides™ - Spanish Rice
  • 1 ¼ cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese
  • 4 (10 inch) burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • Shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped tomato, cilantro, green onions, shredded lettuce, lime wedges

Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the cooked shredded chicken with salsa, cumin, and oregano in a large bowl.
  3. Prepare Knorr® Fiesta Sides™ - Mexican Rice according to package directions. Remove from the heat.
  4. Stir rice and shredded cheese into the chicken mixture. Divide the mixture among flour tortillas; wrap and place seam-side down on a lined baking sheet. Brush with oil.
  5. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and crispy, about 20 minutes. Serve, if desired, with your favorite toppings.
I've partnered with Knorr® to let you know what I think about Fiesta Sides™. As always, all opinions are my own; Rotisserie chicken works great in this recipe; Use your favorite salsa, or fire roasted tomatoes with green chilies; Cheddar or pepper jack cheese can be substituted for the colby-jack; Because of the high oven temperature, olive oil is not recommended for brushing the tortillas.
