Ww Skinny Chimichangas
By: TeresaS
Jul 2, 2007
This is out of my Weight Watchers cookbook called "Take-Out Tonight!" This is an excellent low fat chimchangas recipe. It is baked, instead of deep-fried. The burrito comes out crispy with a moist and flavorful filling. This has 4 points per serving. You can top these chimichangas with your favorite salsa and, for an extra 1 point per serving, 2 tablespoons fat-free sour cream.

- 1 onion, finely chopped

These were a yummy treat for lunch yesterday. I made exactly as stated, except used whole wheat tortillas. I love that they are tasty and diet friendly at the same time.

Yummy! These were really easy to put together. Instead of a whole onion I used a whole red bell pepper and 1/4th onion. I also added 1/2 finely diced jalapeno. The taste was good, we really liked the combo of spices, but I think there was just too much tomato sauce because there was a lot of sauce and it made the bottom of the chimichangas a little soggy, when we would have liked for them to be a little more firm. I will make these again for sure, so easy, just with less tomato sauce. Oh, we also didn't add any cheese, and didn't miss it!

Mmmmmmm....delicious! I used extra lean ground turkey and fat free cheddar. I also used salsa in place of the tomato sauce, and added some black olives for some healthy fats. Thanks TeresaS and Weight Watchers!

Delicious, the tortilla comes out nice and crisp without the added calories from deep frying. I served this on a bed of shredded lettuce topped with guacamole and salsa. The meat mixture was made a day in advance and then reheated when needed. The tortillas were microwaved for about 20 to 30 seconds in the microwave. The timing was excellent.
