Better Than Fried Chimichangas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 oven-roasted deli chicken
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    2 cups cabbage coleslaw blend
    1 -2 chipotle chile in adobo, finely chopped
    1 cup tomato sauce
    3 scallions, chopped
    salt and pepper
    1/4 cup chicken broth
    8 -10 burrito-size flour tortillas
    4 cups cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
    2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
    Take the meat off the bone of the rotisserie chicken and tear into bite-size pieces.
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    In a stockpot, place the chicken, chili powder, cabbage, chipotles, tomato sauce, scallions, salt and pepper and 2 cups cheese. Add chicken broth and heat slowly until it all melts.
    When ready to assemble, place a small amount of cheese in the center of a tortilla and top with the desired amount of filling. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and close by overlapping the other two sides. Place seam-side down on a greased baking sheet and repeat until you have used all of the filling. Brush the tops of the chimichangas with oil and bake until deep golden brown, about 15-17 minutes.
    Serve with sour cream and salsa.
