Caribbean Chimichangas With Jamaican Pepper Sauce

Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cooked, diced in small cubes
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained, rinsed
• 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
• 1 cup frozen corn, thawed, drained
• 1/4-1/3 cup diced fresh cilantro
• 2 jalapeno peppers or 1 red chili pepper, seeded, diced
• 1 cup cooked rice, cooled (i used brown rice)
• 1 tablespoon jamaican jerk spice
• 12 large burrito-size flour tortillas (use reduced fat variety if this is a concern)
• 1/2 cup mango nectar
• 1 mango, pureed
• 3 -5 tablespoons minced cilantro
• 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (i used pick-a-peppa jamaican sauce)
• 1 -2 tablespoon brown sugar (amount depends on the sweetness of your mango and personal preference)
• 2 teaspoons jamaican jerk spice

Recipe

• 1 in large bowl, mix together chicken, black beans, onions, corn, cilantro, jalapeño peppers, rice and jamaican jerk seasoning.
• 2 on each tortilla, spoon about 1/3 to 1/2 cup chicken mixture just below center. fold two sides of tortillas over filling. fold over top and bottom edges of tortillas, making rectangles; secure with wooden picks.
• 3 on greased baking sheet, place tortillas, folded side down. spray chimichangas with cooking spray and bake in 425°f oven for 15 minutes, turning once.
• 4 remove picks and serve with mango pepper dipping sauce.
• 5 mango pepper dipping sauce: in medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients. store in refrigerator until chimichangas are finished baking. whisk again just before serving.
• 6 for my friends who are also doing the ww core program, this can be easily modified to meet the program. first, use brown not rice. in making the sauce, use a lesser amount of water in place of the nectar. also, skip the brown sugar or use splenda. now your only non-core ingredient are the tortillas. count points for those. i used a fat free version that was 3 points for 2 tortillas. if you are saving points, it's a wonderful entree salad with a fruity mango dressing.
