MINI CHIMIS ( CHIMICHANGAS )
I had some leftover roast from Recipe#323179, and I wanted to do something different with it. So I came up with the following recipe.The optional ingredients are divided as follows, 1 Tablespoon each of sour cream and salsa. And top that with 1/2 Tablespoon of green onions, and if desired add extra cheese. If you try this, I hope you enjoy it.Submitted to " ZAAR " on December 20, th, 2009.

CHICKEN CHIMI CHIMIES ( CHIMICHANGAS )
This is an easy chimichanga, great for a busy day. I like to cook the chicken ahead, so that dinner can be ready in under 30 minutes. One chimi is good for smaller eaters, two for those hearty appetites. This is a mild dish, unless you add lots of cumin, which makes it great for kids. If you like spicy add a few dashes of hot sauce or a diced jalapeño. After reading a couple of reviews I realized that I too was increasing the sour cream without paying exact attention to the recipe this adapted from. I don't always start with the same amount of chicken so, you want the mix to be slightly wet and gooshy without being drippy, it should cling together. I sometimes add 1/2 cup of shredded cheese to the mix, but you can leave it out to avoid the extra fat. Serve with your favorite side dishes, I like Spanish rice and fruit with this.

CHIMI'S WITH CHIMI DIP
When we lived in Phoenix we had a favorite Tex-Mex Restaurant we went to on a weekly basis. We would always get one order of their Mini Chicken Chimmi's and one order of their Mini Beef Chimmi's. They were were served with this wonderfully simple dip that we loved. We hope you do too. The chimi's as you will see were made very simply in the crock pot with spare seasoning. Oh so tasty!

Steps:
- Mix the FIRST SIX ingredients together, cover and allow flavors to marry overnight in the refrigerator. Serve with chimi's.
- PREPARING THE MEAT: We make our chimi's very simply by cooking chicken, pork or beef in the crock pot after skin and bones have been removed and seasoning with lime, cilantro, garlic and salt. Remove from crock pot cool and shred the meat. This is a good tome to taste it to see if it is seasoned to your liking.
- Place 1/2 cup in the center of a 10" tortilla spread into a 6" line, fold in short ends and roll tightly. dampen end to seal and deep fry until golden.
- To make as appetizers I use large won ton wraps instead of flour tortilla's. Place only a tablespoon or so in these.
- I serve with above dip, tomatoes, onion, lettuce, avocado and cheese when we have guests but when it is just family we only use the cream cheese garnish.
