Chimichangas

Tuesday's Dinner

Roast Chicken Chimichangas
As I mentioned the other day, I planned to use the leftover chicken from Sunday for a chimichanga recipe I found in Cooking Light on myrecipes.com. It turned out ok. I did almost exactly what the recipe said, except I used red salsa instead of green. This may have been part of the problem...green salsa is a little more tangy, and I used red chipotle salsa. The flavors just seemed odd to me. The chicken may have been part of the problem, too, because it had been cooked with French herbs. Maybe I was just having an off night...I finished cooking the chimichangas, but we were on the phone, so I thought it would be ok to wait to eat them (they were SO hot when they came out of the oven that I thought they would stay warm for ages!). We lost track of time, though, and 30 minutes later - they were cold. :( We put them in the microwave briefly, but then they were really hot and I burned my mouth when I tried to taste one! So, by the time I actually ate one (and wasn't injuring myself on refried beans the temperature of lava), I may have had a negative attitude. I would try it again, since they were easy...maybe just using a dallop of sour cream instead of salsa. Or, maybe I would just give the green salsa a try.

They weren't terrible - just not my favorite thing.
