Baked Chicken ChimichangasI adapted this recipe from an old Cooking Light recipe. I love it but made a few changes. It's my go-to recipe. It's a great recipe for using up left over chicken. My whole family will eat it, too!

  4. Spread 1/4 cup beans down center of tortilla. Top with 3/4 cup chicken mixture. Roll up like a burrito. Place rolls seam down on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray or olive oil.

    The original recipe says to coat the chimichangas with cooking spray. I prefer to use my pastry brush and brush some olive oil all over the tortilla. But, either way works!

I copied this recipe so I can make it for my family. Mexican food is one of our favorites. I believe this will make a good freezer meal also.

Do you have the numbers on this. Sounds great, but my husband is a diabetic, so am wondering if this is good.
