Low Fat Chimichangas

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

2. Mix beans, cheese, and taco seasoning thoroughly.

3. Microwave the tortillas for a short period to soften.

4. Place a large spoonful of mixture in center of tortilla.

5. Fold top down and bottom up, then fold sides over, into the shape of a chimichanga.

6. Place toothpicks into chimichangas to keep tortillas closed.

7. Spray both sides of chimichangas with Pam cooking spray (generic cooking spray works, but does not produce as crisp a result).

8. Place chimichangas on a nonstick cookie sheet or a sheet lined with foil.

9. Place chimichangas in the oven for 8 minutes.

10. Remove toothpicks and turn chimichangas to other side; bake for another 5 minutes.

11. Adjust cooking time as needed to obtain a crispy outside.

12. Garnish as desired.
