Rinse and drain the can of beans. Slice the green onion and finely chop the cilantro. Mix the shredded chicken, spices, and salsa in a bowl.

1

Stir in the cream cheese, Colby shredded cheese, and green onions until combined.

Then, add beans, lime juice, and half of the chopped cilantro.

3

Place a flour tortilla on the work surface and scoop half a cup of the chicken mixture into the center.

To roll the tortilla, lift and tuck one end of the tortilla over and under the filling to secure it, then fold in both sides and roll the tortilla to the other end.

Place 1 or 2 chimichangas into the hot oil at a time and deep dry them for 2 minutes on either side. Remove them from the hot oil with tongs to a paper towel line dish.
