Instructions:

Purchase Ingredients: Start by acquiring a box of 18 Chicken and Cheese Chimichangas from the frozen department of your local Sam’s Club. Opt for the Jose Ole Brand, as they offer quality and flavor.
-
Prepare Chimichangas: These chimichangas come individually wrapped for convenience. Take out 2 chimichangas from the packaging and place them on a microwave-safe plate.
-
Microwave First Side: Microwave the chimichangas on high for 1 minute and 45 seconds. This will ensure that they are thoroughly heated through.
-
Flip and Microwave: After the initial microwaving, carefully flip the chimichangas over to ensure even cooking. Microwave for an additional 1 minute and 30 seconds on the other side.
-
Add Cheese: Now it’s time to add the cheesy goodness! Break each slice of cheese in half, so you have 4 pieces in total. Place 2 pieces of cheese on each chimichanga.
-
Melt Cheese: Return the plate to the microwave and heat for an additional 30 seconds, or until the cheese is perfectly melted and gooey.
-
Add Sauce: For an extra kick of flavor, splash your desired amount of Texas Pete sauce over the chimichangas. Adjust according to your spice preference.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Your Microwave Chicken & Cheese Chimichangas are now ready to be enjoyed! Dig in and savor every delicious bite of this quick and easy Tex-Mex delight.
Tips:
- Feel free to customize your chimichangas with additional toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
- If you prefer a crispier texture, you can transfer the chimichangas to a baking sheet and broil them in the oven for a few minutes after microwaving.
- Experiment with different types of cheese for varied flavor profiles. Pepper jack or cheddar would be excellent choices.
- Serve alongside a fresh salad or steamed veggies for a well-rounded meal.
