EASY BAKED CHICKEN CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Line a large light-colored baking sheet with parchment paper. Note: I recommend using a light-colored pan to help ensure that the bottoms of the chimichangas don't get too dark.
• In a large bowl, stir together the chicken, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, salsa, cheese, and green onions until well-combined.
• Take one flour tortilla and place it on a clean work surface. Place ⅛ of the chicken mixture in the center of the tortilla. Fold in the left and right sides of the tortilla toward the center, then roll up the tortilla from the bottom. Place seam-side down on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture. Note: Make sure your tortillas are soft so they don't crack when rolling. Most store-bought tortillas are nice and soft right out of the package, but if you need to soften them up, place them in the microwave for a few seconds covered with a damp paper towel or quickly heat them in a dry skillet just until they are pliable.
• Brush the tops and sides of the chimichangas with the melted butter.
