How to Make Baked Turkey And Jack Cheese Chimichangas Weight Watchers

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly coat a large skillet with cooking spray.
  3. Lightly coat a 13x9x2-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  4. Add 1 lb ground turkey to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Drain any excess liquid from the pan. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 ¾ cups salsa, 1-2 jalapeños (minced), 1 teaspoon chili powder, and ½ cup chopped scallions.
  6. Cook until heated through, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
  7. Stir in 1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese until melted.
  8. While the turkey mixture cooks, wrap 6 large flour tortillas in foil and warm in the oven for 10 minutes.
  9. Spoon about ½ cup of the turkey mixture onto each warmed tortilla.
  10. Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll up tightly.
  11. Place the chimichangas in the prepared baking dish.
  12. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
  13. Serve each chimichanga topped with 2 tablespoons salsa and 1 tablespoon sour cream.
