I love ward cookbooks because most recipes are made with the ingredients I keep at my house, so for anyone who is reading this blog if your ward has a cookbook for sale, let me know and I will be your first customer. Anyway,I tried a new recipe from the Meadowdale Ward Cookbook "Chicken Chimichangas" it was GREAT! It is baked but taste like deep fried. So I thought I would share with everyone.
2 1/2 c shredded cooked chicken
2/3 c picante sauce
1/3 c green onion slices
1/2 tsp crushed oregano leaves
1/2 tsp salt
8 flour tortillas ( 7-8 inch size)
1/4 c melted butter
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
guacamole
sour cream
Combine chicken, picante sauce,onion,oregano and salt in saucepan, stir and simmer for 5 minutes or until most liquid has evaporated. Brush one side of tortilla with butter. Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken mixture onto center of unbuttered side of tortillas, top with 2 tablespoons of cheese. Fold 2 sides over filling, fold ends over. Place seems-side down inbaking dish. Bake in preheated over at 475 for about 13 minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Top with guacamole, sour cream, and more shredded cheese and /or more picante sauce as desired.
ENJOY!---Ps. to make life easier for me we put frozen chicken in a crock pot on high while at church and it was finished cooking when we got home. Made preparation and cooking alot easier.

I'm so glad you're enjoying your cookbook! We're really pleased with how they turned out. =) Thanks for contributing, too!
Yummy! I love Mexican, but my husband doesn't so much. I will have to wait a week to make this because I made mexican tonight. I love cook books also! I read them like books! I saw No Reservations and Catherine Zeta Jones character does the same. I so relate!
