Ingredients
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, plus more for brushing the tortillas
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 cup sliced button mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 7-ounce can diced green chilies
- 1 15-ounce can vegetarian refried beans
- 1 15-ounce can black beans
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 8 burrito-size tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Heat the oil in a saute pan and saute the onions and garlic 3 minutes, until soft.
- Add the cumin, mushrooms, green chiles, and salt. Cook an additional 3-4 minutes, until the mushrooms are soft.
- Place the mushroom mixture in a large mixing bowl and add the beans, tomatoes, cilantro, brown rice, salsa, and cheese. Stir to combine.
- Place 3/4 to 1 cup of the filling in the center of a tortilla, fold the sides in, then fold the bottom up to cover the filling, and fold the top down.
- Place the chimichangas, folded side down, on a greased baking sheet, and brush or spray them lightly with oil.
- Bake 15 minutes, until the tortillas are golden brown. Serve with sliced avocado, sour cream, extra salsa and cilantro.
- Note: If the tortillas are too stiff to fold, place them in the microwave for 30 seconds between 2 damp paper towels to soften.
