Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1/2 pound ground skinless turkey breast
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped mild green chiles
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
  • 4 (8 inch) fat-free flour tortillas
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 F. Spray a nonstick baking sheet with nonstick spray; set aside. Spray a medium nonstick skillet with nonstick spray; set over medium-high heat.

  • Step 2: To the skillet add ground turkey, onion, garlic, chili powder, oregano, and cumin. Cook, breaking up the turkey with a wooden spoon until browned, about 6 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce and the chiles; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the flavors are blended and the mixture thickens slightly, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheddar.

  • Step 3: Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in foil and place in the oven to warm for 10 minutes. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the filling into the center of each tortilla.

  • Step 4: Fold in the sides, then roll to enclose the filling. Place the chimichangas, seam-side down, on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the tortillas with nonstick spray. Bake until golden and crisp, about 20 minutes. Do not turn.
