Oven-Fried Chicken Chimichangas

A fast and healthier way to serve Chimichangas than the traditional deep fried. These are very good, and you may dress them up to you own preference. I like to serve with green chile sauce sometimes instead of the picante sauce.
Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup picante sauce or 2/3 cup your favorite salsa
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, crushed
• 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 green onions, chopped with some tops (about 1/4 cup)
• 6 (8 inch) flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons margarine, melted
• shredded cheddar cheese, for serving
• chopped green onion, for serving
• picante sauce, for serving

Directions:

1. Mix chicken, picante sauce or salsa, cumin, oregano, cheese and onions.
2. Place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla.
3. Fold opposite sides over filling.
4. Roll up from bottom and place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
5. Brush with melted margarine.
6. Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes or until golden.
7. Garnish with additional cheese and green onion and serve salsa on the side.
