Marlene Zebleckis - Salinas, California
Bake-Off® Contest 33, 1988
Chimichangas are made with a flour tortilla that wrapped around a seasoned filling and fried until crisp. In this recipe, chimichangas are made easier when light, flaky crescents replace the tortilla and they are baked in the oven.


   1/2 cup chopped onions
   2 garlic cloves, minced
   3 tablespoons oil
   2 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
   2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
   1/2 cup picante salsa
   2 cups (8 oz.) shredded Cheddar cheese
   Dairy sour cream
   Salsa


Heat oven to 350°F. Grease large cookie sheet. In large skillet, cook onion and garlic in oil until onion is tender. Add chicken; cook over low heat until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

Separate dough into 8 rectangles; firmly press perforations to seal. Spread about 2 teaspoons of the salsa on each rectangle to within 1/2 inch of edges. Stir 1 cup of the cheese into chicken mixture. Spoon heaping 1/3 cup chicken mixture onto half of each rectangle. Starting at shortest side topped with chicken, roll up; pinch ends to seal. Place seam side down on greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 350°F. for 16 to 21 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven; top each with about 2 tablespoons of the remaining cheese. Bake an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with sour cream and additional salsa.
