GREEN CHILI, CHEESE, BEEF OR CHICKEN CHIMICHANGAS
My family used to call this "Cha-Ching Chimi's". They're pretty darn good if I do say so myself. Hope you all enjoy, too. Correction submitted: I incorrectly posted the amount of crushed red pepper flakes. A pinch, NOT 1/4 tsp. Sorry!

ALMOST-FAMOUS CHIMICHANGAS
It has happened to all of us: A restaurant closes and just like that, a favorite dish is gone forever. For thousands of fans of the Tex-Mex chain Chi-Chi's, which shuttered its last 65 restaurants in 2004, that dish was the chimichanga: a big tortilla stuffed with beef, seafood or chicken, lettuce, jack cheese and salsa, and topped with a secret "zesty Mexi-sauce." We've seen endless message- board posts from fans pondering the recipe and reminiscing about that unforgettable topping. Now they can taste it again: Chefs in Food Network Kitchens re-created the old favorite from memory.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Melt the butter with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet; transfer to a bowl. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the skillet. Add the onion, garlic and jalapeno and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, cinnamon and 1 teaspoon salt; toast 30 seconds. Add the tomato and cilantro and cook until slightly dry, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken and sour cream and warm through. Remove from the heat.
- Brush a rimmed baking sheet with some of the butter-oil mixture. Spread 2 tablespoons refried beans down the center of each tortilla, leaving a 2-inch border on both ends. Top with 1 cup chicken mixture and 1/4 cup cheese. Fold in the ends and roll up.
- Put the chimichangas seam-side down on the baking sheet; brush with the butter-oil mixture. Bake 8 to 10 minutes per side, brushing again after you flip. Top with the sauce, more cheese, lettuce and tomato. Serve with rice and the remaining beans.
- Saute onions and garlic cloves in a skillet with vegetable oil. Add a pinch each of chili powder, cumin, sugar and salt; cook 30 seconds. Stir in green chiles; cook 2 minutes. Add chicken broth and simmer until thickened, then puree. Stir in cilantro.
GREEN CHILI CHIMICHANGAS
Beef and green chilies mixed with beef gravy. Can be fried for chimichangas or rolled in warm tortilla for green chili burrito. It is simple and good. I usually don't measure, so I'm guessing on amounts. Feel free to use less or more of something.

CHIMICHANGAS
Though still debated, Tucson is generally credited as the original home of the chimichanga (fried "burro", as we call them, stuffed with meat, onions and chiles). I've combined several recipes into this one, and it's fairly authentic. -Laura Towns, Glendale, Arizona

CHICKEN CHIMICHANGAS WITH SOUR CREAM SAUCE

Steps:
- Place the chicken breasts into a large saucepan. Pour in the water, and season with chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, stir in 4 ounces of green chiles, onion, and garlic; continue simmering until the liquid has reduced to 1 cup. Reserve remaining 3 ounces of chopped green chilies. Remove the chicken, shred with two forks, and return to the onion mixture.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour, and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the water and bouillon cube until the water has thickened and the bouillon cube has dissolved, about 4 minutes. Whisk in reserved 3 ounces of green chilies and the sour cream; season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place a tortilla onto your work surface, then spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken filling halfway between the bottom edge and the center of the tortilla. Flatten the filling into rectangle shape with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle about 1 ounce of the Monterey Jack cheese over the filling. Fold the bottom of the tortilla snugly over the filling, then fold in the left and right edges. Roll the chimichanga up to the top edge, forming a tight cylinder; secure the ends with wooden toothpicks. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Cook the chimichangas, 2 at a time, in the hot oil until they are crisp and golden brown on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, and remove toothpicks. Top with sour cream sauce to serve.

PORK AND GREEN CHILI CHIMICHANGAS
These pork chimichangas are delicious and easy to make. I have been perfecting this recipe for the past 15 years. They are baked, instead of deep fried. This recipe makes 10 entree size or 18 lunch sized chimis. They are also an economical choice with only 7 common ingredients. You will love the flavor of these.

Steps:
- Cut pork butt into 1" cubes. Place cut pork into large dutch oven, cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Uncover, stir and continue cooking until meat is well browned and juices are almost gone. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Then add water to pan, enough to cover meat completely. Turn heat up to high and cook until water boils, then cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- While meat is cooking, prepare the flour tortillas. Spread a light amount of butter on both sides of each tortilla, set aside in a pile. When you are done buttering them, cover with the plastic bag they came in, so they will remain pliable.
- Spray a 13" x 9" baking dish with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- When timer is done for the pork, uncover and turn heat up to high. Cook over high heat until all the water is gone from the pan. When that is done, reduce heat to low and add crushed oregano leaves, cumin, salt, pepper, vinegar and diced green chiles. Stir well and then turn heat off.
- Shred the meat using to large forks.
- Set your oven to 500 degrees.
- To assemble each chimichanga: Place 3-4 tablespoons of meat mixture on lower 3rd of tortilla, spoon meat mixture to within a 1/2″ of each side of tortilla. Then take left side and fold over meat, do the same on right side, like the top flap of an envelope. Then roll up towards 12 o'clock while keeping sides overlapping the filling just slightly.
- Depending on the size of your tortillas it may take two turns, set them seam side down on a baking sheet. Once they are all in the pan, spread butter on the tops of the chimichangas.
- Then bake in oven on middle rack at 500 degree for 6-8 minutes.
- Depending on your oven, start checking the chimi's after 6 minutes. You want them golden brown and delicious.
- Remove from oven and serve with freshly made guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo.
- Cooks Notes: Depending on the size of your flour tortillas and whether you want to make 'Entree' or 'Lunch' size chimichangas, this recipe will make up to 18 chimi's. If you use 3 tablespoons of filling in each you will get 18 smaller, or skinnier, chimichangas.

MILE HIGH GREEN CHILI
Green chili is a Colorado favorite, it's always a crowd pleaser when we have out-of-state visitors. Roasting your veggies first gives this recipe a deeper level of flavor. This can be served over rice as a main course, stuffed in enchiladas, or over potatoes and eggs.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Arrange the halved tomatillos, Anaheim chiles, jalapenos, onion, and green bell pepper on a baking sheet. Drizzle the vegetables with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven until they begin to show brown spots, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool, then chop vegetables into bite-size pieces.
- Heat 1 more tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat, and pan-fry the pork until browned, sprinkling the meat with salt and black pepper as it cooks, about 12 minutes. Transfer the pork cubes to a slow cooker, and stir in the roasted vegetables. Mix in the tomatoes, garlic, beef bouillon cube, beer, oregano, parsley, cumin, and chili powder. Set the cooker on Low, cover, and cook until the pork is very tender, 4 to 6 hours.
- About 1/2 hour before serving, place the cream cheese into a bowl, and stir in about 1 tablespoon of the chili liquid until thoroughly combined. Continue stirring in chili broth, a tablespoon at a time, until the cream cheese is almost a liquid. Stir the cream cheese mixture back into the chili.

- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and drained green chiles. Mix well to incorporate.
- On a work surface, working with one at a time, place one quarter of the chicken mixture (almost 3/4 cup) onto the bottom third of a tortilla. Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons cheese. Lift the edge nearest you and wrap it around the filling. Fold the left and right sides in toward the center and continue to roll into a tight cylinder. Set aside, seam side down, and repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Lightly spray all sides of the chimichangas with oil. Place 2 of the chimichangas seam side down in the air fryer basket. Make sure each chimichanga is tightly wrapped and seam side down in the basket or it will open during cooking. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. For a toaster oven-style air fryer, cook at 350 degrees F, for the same amount of time. Repeat with the remaining chimichangas.
