Menu Monday...recipe included😋

I would normally just show pictures of what we have had this week, but tonight I made something new and had I share!!!

Most will have heard or had a chimichanga!

Well I put a little twist on mine as they kids are away and I can 😜

I started with chicken, of course I always buy in bulk and end up cooking enough chicken for like 5 people (note to self, repackage some meat in smaller portions for when the kids are away)

Now, I would recommend boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs...all I had available was chicken quarters but it worked

Once cooked shred the chicken up. 

I use southwest ranch dip (prepackaged from the store), chopped raw onions, and shredded cheese 

Use large wraps (I chose whole wheat), add 1 tbsp of dip to centre of wrap, then cheese and onions, top with shredded chicken

Fold the sides in then the top n bottom

Picture shows each stage

Place in oven at 350 for 15 mins on a little sprayed cookie sheet....OR when the house is already sitting at 32 degrees, place in a non stick frying pan on med/high heat 

Turn after the first 7 mins

(Or if in pan about 5 mins...it cooks as fast as a grilled cheese so keep a close eye!)

One done, serve whole or cut with a dip on the side!

I chose a plan ranch dip, but salsa or sour cream would have been even better!!!

Here is the oringal recipe

Any combination of toppings would be wonderful, even if everyone made there own

My next batch will have grilled red and green peppers inside as well as sour cream to add some extra flavour!

Have a recipe? Share it with me!!! I have 9 more nights before I have to go back to kid friendly meals again 😩
