I had a Chimichanga one night when Dawn took me out for some Mexican food. I throughly enjoyed it, so Dawn found/made this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cup shredded roasted skinless, boneless chicken breast
- 1 cup grated cheddar (or other) cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- 1 (4.5oz) can chopped green chilies, drained
- 1 can refried beans (optional)
- 1 jar salsa
- 6 large tortillas
- Cooking oil
Preperation:
- Combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl; toss well.
- (optional) Spread 1/4 cup beans down center of each tortilla.
- Top each tortilla with 2/3 cup chicken mixture; roll up.
- Place rolls seam side down in a deep pan with 1" of cooking oil. Cook until golden brown on both sides; flipping when required.
- Serve Hot - Goes well with refried beans, rice, salsa; adding a bit of the salsa to the chicken mixture adds moisture and flavor.
Side Note: We couldn't find something in the store called green chilies, so we used green jalapeno peppers instead. We didn't use the whole jar, but I feel I could have handled a little more heat.
These could have also been baked in the oven on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray. I don't think they would taste as good.

Ingredients:
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 cup heinz chli sauce
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp white or cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 3lb bonless pork roast, trimmed of excess fat
- 8 buns
Preperation:
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine ketchup, chili sauce, mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 more minutes. Let cool.
- Place roast in a large glass bowl or freezer bag and pour sacue from step one over pork. Let marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
- Remove roast from marinade and place in slow cooker.
- Add 3/4 cup water to marinade, mix well and add to roast in slow cooker.
- Cover and let cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 4 to 6 hours. The meat should be falling appart when done.
- remove meat from barbecue sauce and use two forks to pull meat apart into little strands. Place on a bun.
Side Note: The sauce that the meat has is very good all on it's own. But I like a little kick so I added a little bit of Chipoltle sacue to mine after it was done cooking.
This dish sounds weird, but is really delisious. It is good on a bun like a traditional sloppy joe, or on a wrap like a burito. It can be left simmering in the crock pot for thoes nights when everyone is comming and going.
