Oven Baked Chicken & Veg Chimichangas - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large onion, chopped
2 large carrots, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 1/2 teaspoons chili powder (I used Masterfoods Mexican Chilli Powder)
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon dry oregano leaves
1 large zucchini, diced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup corn kernel, fresh or frozen thawed
1 lb cooked chicken, chopped
1 cup salsa, your choice of flavour & heat
1 1/2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese (I used cheddar cheese)
8 large flour tortillas
olive oil flavored cooking spray

Preparation

Spray a large non-stick skillet with olive oil spray & heat over medium high heat. When hot, add onion, carrots, garlic, chili powder, cumin & oregano. Cook, stirring, until onion is soft (about 10 minutes)
Stir in zucchini, bell pepper and corn, cooking until zucchini is tender-crisp (7 to 8 more minutes).
Add chicken, salsa and cheese, cook for 2 minutes.
To assemble each chimichanga, spoon filling down centre of each tortilla. To enclose, lap ends over filling, then fold sides to centre to make a packet.
Place chimichangas, seam sides down, in a 9 by 13 inch baking pan.
Bake in a 500 degree oven until golden (8 to 10 minutes).
