These Mexican bites are filled with spicy chicken and gooey cheese and is a great way to use up leftovers after a Sunday roast.

Ingredients

  • 500g leftover roast chicken, shredded
  • 200g tomato salsa
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 400g tin refried beans
  • 1 bag baby spinach leaves
  • 1 red pepper, cut into strips
  • 100g Cheddar, grated
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • To serve:
  • 150g sour cream
  • Iceberg lettuce

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken and salsa into a bowl and stir to combine. Lay the tortillas on a clean work surface. Spread two tablespoons of refried beans over each tortilla. Top with chicken, pepper and 1 tablespoon of cheese. Roll up the tortilla, tucking in the ends.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan on a medium heat. Cook the chimichangas in batches, adding extra oil if needed, until golden all over.
  3. Serve the chimichangas with sour cream and salsa.
