Kirk's Cooking and Cocktails

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan. Add the cubed chicken and season with salt and pepper. Once cooked through, add the black beans, paprika, Cajun seasoning, cayenne, and 3/4 cup of salsa. Toss to coat all ingredients and cook for 2 minutes. Then, stir in 1/2 cup of shredded cheese until melted. Take a tortilla, fill it with the chicken and cheese mixture, and fold it into a chimichanga. Place the folded chimichanga seam-side down on a greased baking sheet. Coat the chimichangas with melted butter. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes. For a crispier result, you can also fry them in oil in a pan instead of baking. After 20 minutes, remove from the oven, sprinkle with additional cheese, and bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Plate and serve hot, optionally with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
