Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cooked, diced in small cubes
1 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained, rinsed
1/2 cup finely diced red onions
1 cup frozen corn, thawed, drained
1/4-1/3 cup diced fresh cilantro
2 jalapeno peppers or 1 red chili peppers, seeded, diced
1 cup cooked rice, cooled ( I used brown rice)
1 tablespoon jamaican jerk spice
12 large burrito-size flour tortillas ( use reduced fat variety if this is a concern)
1/2 cup mango nectar
1 mangoes, pureed
3 -5 tablespoons minced cilantro
2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce ( I used Pick-A-Peppa Jamaican sauce)
1 -2 tablespoon brown sugar ( amount depends on the sweetness of your mango and personal preference)
2 teaspoons jamaican jerk spice
Directions:
In large bowl, mix together chicken, black beans, onions, corn, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, rice and Jamaican jerk seasoning.
On each tortilla, spoon about 1/3 to 1/2 cup chicken mixture just below center. Fold two sides of tortillas over filling. Fold over top and bottom edges of tortillas, making rectangles; secure with wooden picks.
On greased baking sheet, place tortillas, folded side down. Spray chimichangas with cooking spray and bake in 425 F oven for 15 minutes, turning once.
Remove picks and serve with mango pepper dipping sauce.
Mango pepper dipping sauce: In medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients. Store in refrigerator until chimichangas are finished baking. Whisk again just before serving.
For my friends who are also doing the WW Core program, this can be easily modified to meet the program. First, use brown not white rice. In making the sauce, use a lesser amount of water in place of the nectar. Also, skip the brown sugar or use Splenda. Now your only non-Core ingredient are the tortillas. Count points for those. I used a fat free version that was 3 points for 2 tortillas. If you are saving points, it’s a wonderful entree salad with a fruity mango dressing.
