Steps:

  • Top the chicken mixture with 1/2 cup shredded cheese, divided evenly between the burritos.
  • Roll up the tortillas like an envelope.
  • With the seam side up (the bottoms) spray generously with non-stick spray and then place them seam side down on the cooling rack.
  • Spray the tops of the chimichangas generously with non-stick spray.
  • Bake for 10 minutes and then flip them over.
