  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded Pepperjack cheese, and taco seasoning. Mix until well blended and smooth.
  • Fold in the shredded cooked chicken until it’s evenly coated with the cheesy mixture.

2️⃣ Assemble the Chimichangas:

  • Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the chicken and cheese mixture evenly among the tortillas.
  • To roll the chimichangas, fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll it up tightly, keeping the filling inside.
  • Place the rolled tortillas seam side down in a 9×13-inch baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray.

3️⃣ Bake the Chimichangas:

  • Lightly spray the tops of the tortillas with cooking spray. This helps them turn crispy and golden in the oven.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the chimichangas for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, carefully turn the chimichangas over to ensure they cook evenly. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.

4️⃣ Serve:

  • Once baked, remove the chimichangas from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  • Serve them hot, topped with shredded cheddar cheese and garnished with green onions.
  • For extra flavor, add a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of salsa on the side.
