# Instructions:
01 -
Use a frying pan to cook chicken breasts until they're cooked through and no longer pink. Let the chicken cool for a little bit, then chop it up.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, throw in the chicken, refried beans, cheese, salsa, spices, and green onions, then stir till everything's combined.
03 -
Scoop about half a cup of the chicken filling into the middle of each tortilla. Fold the sides in, then roll them up like burritos.
04 -
Heat your oven to 400°F. Lightly coat the chimichangas with some oil, then bake them for around 25 minutes until they're crispy and golden brown.
05 -
Warm up some oil in a skillet over medium heat. Put the burritos seam-side down, flipping them every 20–30 seconds until all the sides are nicely golden.
