Recipe Box

Here is a recipe for your recipe box!  We tried these tonight, and they were SOOOO good....and pretty healthy to top it off!

Chicken Chimichangas:
Preheat oven to 400*.
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in thin strips
- onion, in strips
- green and/or red pepper, in strips
         Cook your chicken in vegetables in a skillet along with some kosher salt and garlic salt.
Add and mix all together.
- 1 t. cumin
- 1 t. oregano
- 1/2 t. chili powder
- some more garlic salt or powder
- black pepper
- some salsa (I eyeballed it...enough to coat, but not be soupy)
- some cheddar cheese (again, eyeball it)
- 1 can drained and rinsed black beans
- chopped baby spinach (load up on this!!!  It wilts down to nothing and is so healthy!)
- chopped scallions, to taste.

Once everything is combined, soften tortillas in the microwave by sprinkling with water and wrapping in a towel.  Fill, fold, and place on parchment-lined cookie sheet.  Brush top and sides with EVOO.  As they start to crisp up, flip and brush the other side with EVOO.  These were super good!  I'd say about 25 minutes total in the oven!
