Now, let’s get started with making your Chicken Chimichangas!

1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
2. Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable and easier to fold.
3. Fill the Tortillas: Place a generous amount (about 1/2 cup) of the chicken filling in the center of each tortilla.
4. Fold and Roll: Fold the sides of the tortilla in toward the center, then roll from the bottom to the top, creating a sealed envelope.
5. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Ensure enough oil to submerge the bottom of the Chimichangas.
6. Fry the Chimichangas: Carefully add the rolled Chimichangas to the hot oil, seam side down. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
7. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the Chimichangas and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve: Pair your Chicken Chimichangas with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for dipping.

Follow these steps, and you’ll have a plate full of incredible Chicken Chimichangas that are sure to impress!
