Ok so I like to eat them too, but I don't always feel like going to the bother of frying them... not to mention the extra calories. We all know fried is good... VERY good... but we can stand to skip it once in a while. These are a highly acceptable substitute.
Take your favorite taco/burrito meat filling recipe and add a can of drained black beans (or not... up to you). Put about half a cup of filling and a generous sprinkling of shredded cheese in the center of a large (10") flour tortilla.
Fold in the top and bottom...
Holding those flaps in, roll to contain filling...
Place on baking sheet covered in foil and generously sprayed with cooking spray. I use Crisco butter flavored spray. Spray tops and sides of chimis.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until browned and heated through. Serve on top of shredded lettuce, garnished with whatever you like. Tonight I used chopped tomatoes, sliced black olives, sour cream, and homemade guacamole.
Homemade guacamole, you say? Why yes, I happen to have the recipe right here!! Lucky you!!
Vicki's Best Ever Guacamole
4 large very ripe avocados, peeled, seeded, and coarsely mashed (I use a pastry blender)
juice of half a large lime
large clove of garlic, mashed
large pinch of kosher salt
2 T. finely chopped sweet onion
1/4 C. finely chopped cilantro
1/2 t. cumin
1 jalapeño, seeded, ribbed, and very finely chopped (or a couple dashes of your favorite hot sauce)
1 large roma tomato, diced small
Combine all ingredients, cover and chill about an hour before serving.
