My niece's birthday was this week and she picked the Alamo for a lunch destination because of their chimis. Of course, they are deep fried and coated in cheesy goodness, so I passed on ordering one. But my WW leader had passed out this recipe a few weeks ago and I gave it a try last night.
Baked Turkey Chimichanga
Serves 12
1 pound ground turkey
16 oz fat free refried beans
16 oz salsa
4 oz chopped green chili peppers
1 tsp chili powder
3 Tbsp chopped green onion
1 cup shredded reduced fat Monterey Jack cheese
12 8" fat free flour tortillas
1/2 cup fat free sour cream
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Coat large skilled and baking dish with cooking spray.
- Brown turkey in skillet and drain well. Stir in beans, 8 oz. salsa, chili peppers, spices and onions.
- Spoon 1/2 cup of mixture onto tortilla, fold in sides and roll.
- Put chimichangas into baking dish. Bake uncovered until crisp and brown, about 20 minutes.
- Serve with cheese, additional salsa and sour cream.
I plugged it into the recipe analyzer at Calorie Count and it came out with the following:
1 chimichanga = 250 calories, 8.1g fat, 534mg sodium, 6.8g fiber, 18.3g protein
We only used about 1/3 of the meat mixture, so we saved it and are going to use it for nachos while watching the race today.
