Oven-Fried Chicken Chimichangas

Oven-Fried Chimichangas

2/3 cup chunky salsa
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, crushed
1 1/2 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
2 green onions, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Fresh cilantro leaves

Stir the chunky salsa, cumin, oregano, chicken, cheese and onions in a medium bowl. Place about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Fold the opposite sides over the filling. Roll the tortillas up from the bottom and place them seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush the tortilla rolls with butter. Bake at 400°F. for 25 minutes or until they're golden brown. Serve with additional salsa . Garnish with cilantro.

*I like to serve these with queso on top.
