Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment and spray with cooking spray.

  2. Add poblano chile, onion, and nopales in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until chile and onion are soft, 3 to 5 minutes.

  3. Place 4 tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Heat until soft, about 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  4. Place 1 tortilla on a work surface. Spoon 2 tablespoons each of nopales mixture, Monterey Jack cheese, and black beans on top and fold in sides. Place chimichanga on the prepared baking sheet seam-side down. Repeat with remaining fillings and tortillas.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, turning halfway through, 15 to 20 minutes.

8 chimichangas

Recipe Note

Low fat because you bake them! Nopales are a type of cactus that you can purchase in the Mexican food section in a jar.
