Baked Chimichangas

2 1/2 c. shredded chicken or beef
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/2 Tbs. chili powder
16 oz. jar of salsa
1 cup black beans
Flour tortillas

In a saute pan, combine 2 Tbs. olive oil with chopped onion, pepper and garlic. Saute until tender. Add chili powder and salsa and heat until warm. Immediately stir in cooked, shredded meat and beans. Let mixture cool slightly before rolling into chimichangas. Make sure your flour tortillas are soft (put them in the microwave for 30 seconds). Spoon approximately 1/3 c of meat mixture into tortilla, fold in the sides and roll. Place in a greased pan with seam side down. When you're done rolling all the chimichangas, lightly brush them with olive oil. Bake at 450 for 15 minutes. They come out crispy, just like they've been fried. Garnish with cheese, sour cream, salsa, etc. Super good and low fat.
If you're counting Weight Watcher points the chimichanga is only4 points. Of course if you add sour cream, cheese and all the goodies you have to count that seperate.
