A delicious way to lighten-up chimichangas!

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces 99% lean ground turkey
1 medium onion, (finely chopped)
1 medium garlic clove, (minced)
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons chopped mild green chiles
1/3 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
Four 8-inch low carb flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a nonstick baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Spray a nonstick skillet with nonstick spray; set over medium-high heat. Add the turkey, onion, garlic, chili powder, oregano and cumin. Cook, breaking up the turkey with a wooden spoon until browned, about 6 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce and chiles; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until the flavors are blended and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar.
  • Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in foil and place in the oven to warm for 10 minutes.
  • Spoon about 1/2 cup of the filling into the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll to enclose the filling. Place the chimichangas, seam-side down, on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the tortillas with nonstick spray. Bake until golden and crisp, about 20 minutes. Do not turn.
