Best Chocolate Banana Chimichangas Recipes

THE TRACE BANANA CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• Melt butter in sauté pan. Add the sugar, spices, honey and rum. Let simmer over medium heat for five minutes or until it reaches the consistency of maple syrup. Add sliced bananas to the sauce mixture. Cook for 1 ½ minutes more, or until bananas become slightly soft. Remove pan from heat and pour the entire contents through a strainer. Remove bananas from the strainer and put them into the refrigerator to cool. Reserve sauce in another container. After bananas have cooled, mix together the egg and milk in a bowl. Lay out the flour tortillas. Place ¼ of the banana mixture in the center of the tortilla, leaving about ¾-inch around the edge of the tortilla. With a brush or your hand, rub the remaining area of the tortilla with an egg wash. Fold the sides of the tortilla toward the middle. Take the end of the tortilla closest to you and roll over the banana mixture until the tortilla is closed like a burrito. Heat oil in a pan until it reaches 350-375° . Lay the burrito in the hot oil in the pan and fry until golden brown. Remove and place on a towel. Slice diagonally with a serrated knife and serve with the remainder of the sauce and ice cream.

CHOCOLATE CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium heat in skillet or fry baby. If using an omelette size skillet, fill about 1/3 with oil.
• Tortilla is less likely to crack when you fold it if you microwave it for about 5-8 seconds right before you are ready to put chocolate bar inches.
• Break the Hershey bar up into 2-3 pieces. Pile the chocolate in the tortilla, leaving enough room so that no chocolate is exposed when you fold it. Fold both ends over, then roll to make a little burrito. Make sure all chocolate is covered. If any of it gets into the hot oil, it is a nasty mess. I usually test the oil by tearing off a little piece of tortilla--if it sizzles then the oil is ready.
• Using tongs to hold the chimichanga together, gently place the chimichanga into the hot oil. Let cook for a couple of minutes until bottom is golden & crispy. Then GENTLY flip over, careful not to let any chocolate spill out. Cook until that side is also golden & crispy. (Don't be suprised if you ruin one on the first try, it takes a little practice to get it just right.).
• Drain the grease by placing chimichanga on a paper towel. Then put it into a bowl or plate & top with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream. (The old fashioned kind is my favorite.) Drizzle with chocolate syrup for presentation. It's so rich that 2 people usually share one of these.
