Chimichangas

I hate to interrupt the steady stream of wonderful pictures (thanks, mom), but I will anyway. While in Utah, we had dinner with some friends of ours who used to live in our ward. The Murdochs. The Chimichangas were so good, we asked for the recipe. Try it!!

2 1/2 C. chicken cooked and chopped
1/3 C. green onions
1/2 tsp. oregano
2/3 C. Salsa
3/4- 1 tsp. Cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
1 C. cheddar or jack cheese, grated
8 tortillas

Combine chicken, salsa, onion cumin, oregano and salt in the saucepan. Simmer 5 min. Fill tortillas with chicken mixture and cheese. Fold up tortillas and place seam down in buttered baking dish. Brush tops of chimichangas with butter.

Bake at 475 degrees for 13 minutes or until crisp. Top with salsa, sour cream and /or guacamole.
