Chimichangas are a great meal, one of my favorites that my local Mexican restaurant. When 2020 happened and we couldn’t go out to restaurants I decided to make my own chimichangas at home.

You can get my recipe for rotisserie chicken chimichangas here

Superbowl is a day of fun party foods, chicken wings are typically on the menu but I thought I would make some buffalo chicken chimichangas!

Here is what you will need

  • 2 cups of rotisserie chicken shredded
  • 1/4 cup of buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 stick of butter
  • 1 cup of enchilada sauce
  • 2 cups of cheddar cheese
  • feta cheese
  • ranch dressing

Rotisserie Chicken– such an easy way to make this meal, if you dont have access to rotisserie chicken you can boil chicken breast and then shred

Buffalo sauce– Using buffalo sauce makes this taste just like buffalo wings, you can use hot sauce for an alternative

Enchilada sauce– adds a smokey flavor and elevates these chimichangas to a new level!

Cheese– this is a big deal ingredient and you can use whatever cheese you want but the best is cheddar and feta cheese, although many would use blu cheese but for a milder flavor profile use feta.

Butter– helps to make the sauce creamy and silky

Ranch– not all ranch is created equal but you choose your favorite kind of ranch will be perfect for you. you can also get a recipe here
