Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Oil a rimmed baking sheet.
- Heat the 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the onions and garlic, stirring often, until the onions are soft, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, cumin, salt and green chiles. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer the mushroom mixture to a large bowl and add both beans, tomatoes, brown rice, cheese, the 1 cup salsa and 1/2 cup cilantro. Stir to combine the filling.
- Place 3/4 to 1 cup of the filling in the center of each tortilla and fold the sides in. Then fold the bottom up to cover the filling and fold the top down.
- Place the chimichangas, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet and brush or spray them lightly with oil. Bake until the tortillas are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve with sliced avocado, sour cream, extra salsa and cilantro.

Steps:
- For the sweet potato hummus: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Wrap the sweet potatoes together in a foil packet. Place the packet on a baking sheet. Roast until the potatoes are very tender, about 45 minutes. Allow the sweet potatoes to cool, then scrape the flesh out of the skins. Discard the skins and set the sweet potatoes aside to prepare the hummus.
- Add the chickpeas, sweet potato, lemon juice, tahini and garlic to the bowl of a large food processor. Pulse until it becomes a smooth puree, 1 to 2 minutes. With the machine on, drizzle in the olive oil. Season with the salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Store, refrigerated, in an airtight container, for 1 to 2 weeks.
- For the power wraps: Place 1 tortilla on a work surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons sweet potato hummus around the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border clear of hummus.
- Shingle 3 leaves of butter lettuce over half of the tortilla. Place 3 slices of smoked turkey breast on top of the lettuce leaves, in a shingled layer. Stack the cucumber and red bell pepper in a 1-inch log down the center of the turkey breast. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper.
- Working with the half of the tortilla that is covered in turkey and vegetables, roll the tortilla up like a burrito, to create a tight log.
- Repeat this process to make 3 more wraps. Slice each wrap into eight 1-inch rounds (like sushi). Serve chilled, cut-side up.
CHIMICHANGA
Another regional favorite with a Hispanic heritage, the chimichanga is the pride of Southern Arizona, in the heart of the southwestern cattle country that has produced some of our most distinctive beef dishes. Deep-fried and decked out with toppings, it's a souped-up burrito chockfull of chuck, vegetables and mild chile. For a colorful fiesta spread, serve chimichangas with Mexican Rice, Watermelon Ice and Orange Sangaree.

Steps:
- Rub the roast with salt and pepper.
- Warm 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings in a Dutch oven or other large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides. Reduce the heat to low, scatter half of the onion and half of the garlic over and around the meat. Pour the beef stock over it. Cover and simmer for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until the roast is very tender. Let the meat sit in the cooking liquid until cool enough to handle. Drain the meat, reserving the cooking liquid. Shred the meat into bite-size pieces with your fingers or in several small batches in a food processor.
- Warm the remaining 2 tablespoons bacon drippings in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute the remaining onion and garlic in the fat until the onion softens. Add the meat and saute until well-browned, about 10 minutes. Scrape the meat up from the bottom every few minutes, getting it crusty in some spots. Pour the reserved cooking liquid into the pan and add the tomatoes and chiles. Cook for about 15 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated. The meat should remain moist but not juicy. Adjust the seasoning if you wish. (The meat can be made ahead to this point and refrigerated, covered, for up to several days. Warm the meat before proceeding.)
- You'll need about 5 cups of the shredded meat mixture for the chimichangas. Spoon it evenly over the tortillas. Roll up each tortilla, tucking in the ends to make a secure fat tube that resembles an overgrown Chinese egg roll. Secure the rolls with toothpicks.
- Shortly before you plan to eat the chimichangas, warm at least 4 inches of oil in a Dutch oven or other large heavy pan to 375 degrees F. Fry the chimichangas one or two at a time until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn the chimis to fry them evenly. Drain them and arrange on serving plates. Top with cheese, sour cream, tomato, scallions and salsa. Serve immediately.
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.
CHIMICHANGAS (BEEF AND POTATO)
If you have never tried a Chimichangas, do yourself a favor and try these. When you stuff a large flour tortilla, then roll it up and fry it,you end up with a Chimichanga! They are so good! My hubby and I love to prepare Mexican food and really love to eat it. We go to Mexican restaurants (rarely) and then try to duplicate it. These are fabulous! You can serve shredded cheese,red onion, chopped. A pitcher of ice cold Margaritas would seal the deal!!LOL!

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, combine the meat, potatoes, diced tomato, garlic, onion, salt, oregano, sugar and cumin.
- Add water just to cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until soupy, about 1 1/4 hours.
- Break up the potatoes and simmer until thick, about 30 minutes longer. Let cool slightly. Season with salt, to taste.
- Preheat the oven to 325°. Wrap the tortillas with foil and place in the oven for 10minutes to soften.
- Spoon a scant 1/2 cup of the meat and potato filling in the middle of each tortilla. Fold one side of the tortilla over the filling, then fold in the two adjacent sides. Finally, fold over the fourth side and secure with a toothpick.
- In a large heavy skillet, heat 2 inches of the oil to 360°F over moderately high heat. Place 3 of the filled tortillas in the skillet, seam side down and fry, turning, until evenly golden brown all over, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels, repeat with the remaining tortillas. Remove the toothpicks.
- Arrange the chimichangas on a warm platter. Top each with one with sour cream, salsa,shredded cheese, if using, and shredded lettuce. Arrange the tomato wedges around the platter and serve.

Steps:
- Place the sweet potatoes in a saucepan, and stir in 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Cook and stir over medium heat until most of the juice has evaporated. Stir in the marshmallows just until partly melted. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool.
- Once the sweet potato mixture is cool, stir in the confectioners' sugar and flour. Add more sugar to taste if desired.
- Cut each tortilla in half, and spread a thin layer of butter on each side. Place 1 tablespoon of the sweet potato filling onto the center of each one running parallel to the cut edge, then fold in the sides, and roll up from the straight edge to seal in the filling.
- Heat about 1 inch oil in a large heavy skillet to about 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry chimichangas until light golden brown, turning as needed. Remove to paper towels to drain. The tortillas will darken a little after they are removed. Mix together the remaining cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle over the chimichangas while warm.

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
