How To Make Baked Chicken Chimichangas"

Make the chicken filling. It’s flavored with garlic, green chiles and lots of seasonings.
Preheat the oven and warm the tortillas in the microwave so they don’t rip. Layer the refried beans, chicken mixture, and cheese on the tortillas.
Roll them up burrito style.
Place them seam side down in a greased baking dish.
Spray the tops with cooking spray or brush them with oil or melted butter.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Top with desired toppings.

 
Recipe Tips:
For ease and convenience, I recommend using a rottiserie chicken for this recipe.
Instead of baking, these chimichangas can be air fried at 400 degrees for about 8 minutes. Flip them over halfway through.
If you don’t like refried beans, you can use Mexican rice instead.
