How to Make Baked Vegetarian Chimichangas Warm Or Cold
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked black beans, corn, bell pepper, onion, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Lay out the large flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the bean mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then fold the bottom up and over the filling, creating a tight, rectangular package. You can use a little water to help seal the edges if needed.
- Place the chimichangas seam-down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through for even cooking.
- Serve warm or cold with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream (or vegan alternatives), shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
