Baked Chimichangas

    Makes 4 | Pictured on pg. 84 | Chimichangas are deep-fried burritos commonly made with beans, rice, cheese, and ground meat and topped with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. This recipe is along that same line but doesn’t have to be. Make your own variation by substituting leftover Charleston Red Rice (pg. 192) for the brown rice, try out different beans or use refried beans, add diced green chilies or jalapeños for a kick, add chopped lettuce or cabbage, include diced tomatoes or vegetables, substitute the chickpeas from the Chickpea Tacos instead of the TVP meat, or pour Enchilada Sauce (pg. 260), Mexican Queso Sauce (variation, pg. 263), or Quick Queso Sauce (pg. 263) over the top before serving. Any combination is a good one; don’t be afraid to get creative!
