Chimichangas

These are my chimichangas I made back in 2020 and shared on instagram before I had my blog.

I had to get them up on here and they are so delicious and pretty easy to make. 

Very low in WW points for the amount of food on the plate and keeps you full and satisfied. 

Entire plate is 6 WW points, 681 calories and has 84.8 grams of protein in it. You can certainly only have one of them and use less toppings for lower calories but I went big!

Here is what you need:

• 98% fat free Ground chicken 
• Taco seasoning, I use Dak’s Taco Knight seasoning
• Chicken broth, I use Kettle & Fire chicken broth
• Salt
• Pepper
• Fat free refried beans
• Ole Xtreme wellness tortilla wraps
• Steam in bag frozen cauliflower rice
• Steam in bag frozen broccoli
• Canned corn
• Canned black beans
• Garlic powder
• Fresh lime
• Cilantro
• Con queso, I use Aldi brand
• Borden fat free American cheese
• Unsweetened almond milk
• My Avocado crema, Recipe HERE & spicy one HERE
• My Pico de Gallo, Recipe HERE
• Hot pepper relish, optional
• Cilantro
• Non-fat Greek yogurt
• Hidden Valley ranch seasoning

Here are Dak’s Spices that I always use, if you’d like to try them out use code CHEFALLIE at Dak’s Spices

The only brand we use for chicken broth or bone broth is Kettle & Fire. If you would like to try them out click HERE and use code CHEFALLIESKITCHEN for 20% off. 

This brand is one I enjoy using and is closer to the real deal with less WW points and calories. 

I alwaya have the fat free cheddar cheese on hand as well as the fat free mozzarella. 

These are my Avocado Crema recipes. HERE is the spicy one and HERE is the Avocado Basil crema

Here is how to make it:

1. Preheat your air fryer or oven to 400 degrees
2. Place the ground chicken in a lightly greased pan and cook all the way through
3. Add the taco seasoning, garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste
4. Add the chicken broth to prevent drying out and or burning
5. Add in the refried beans and mix until combine
6. Cook the cauliflower rice and broccoli into the microwave according to the directions.
7. Add 3/4 cup of the cauliflower rice to a bowl.
8. Chop up the broccoli and add 3/4 of a cup of the broccoli to the cauliflower rice in the bowl.
9. Add the 1/4 cup of beans and corn.
10. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, lime juice and cilantro, set aside.
11. Take the taco meat mix and divide into the two tortillas
12. Sprinkle the cheese evenly between the tortillas, roll up and place into the air fryer until golden brown.
13. While they are in the air fryer make the cheese sauce.
14. Pour the cheese sauce over the chimichangas followed by any toppings and garnishes you’d like.
