Chimmichanga's

Ok I kind of make them without a recipe so I will try to get the right measurements
Jens Chimmichangas
2 -3 chicken breast
1 cup shredded cheese any kind
1 can black beans
1 7oz can green chilies (I puree these in processer but you don’t have to) my kids don’t like the chunks
1 cup peppers (I use frozen multi colored)
½ onion (diced)
1 clove of garlic (diced)
1 can crushed tomatoes (I think 14oz)
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons paprika
2 or 3 tablespoons ketchup
1 0r 2 teaspoons garlic powder (optional we like garlic)
Salt to taste
1 package of uncooked flour tortillas (you can get them at Wal-Mart by the cheese)
Boil or fry chicken, Sauté onion and garlic then add chilies, beans, and peppers in a fry pan to get them all warmed up. You can either shred the chicken or food process it. Mix chicken, cheese and warm pan ingredients, spices, ketchup and half can of tomatoes mix and slowly add the rest of the tomatoes until mixture is the right consistency, (I like them a little more runny so when I bake them they are not too dry but not so runny that it won’t say in the tortilla. I cook the tortillas then fill them up and wrap them and put them on a cookie sheet (I think I made about 12 with this amount) bake at 400 for 15 min or until golden brown and crispy. (I usually sprinkle a little cheese on top before I bake them.)
