directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Coat a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Add turkey to skillet and cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess liquid from pan and then add beans, 8 ounces of salsa, chili peppers, chili powder and scallions. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes; stir in cheese.

Step 3

Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in foil; warm in oven for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Assemble chimichangas by spooning about 1/2 cup of turkey mixture onto each tortilla; fold in sides and roll up.

Step 5

Place chimichangas in prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered until tortillas are crisp and brown, about 20 minutes. Serve each topped with 2 tablespoons of additional salsa and 1 tablespoon of sour cream.
