Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook chicken in a skillet over medium heat until it reaches 165°F (75°C), about 6-7 minutes per side. Shred the chicken and mix with taco seasoning and a splash of water; simmer for five minutes.
Lay out each tortilla, fill with shredded chicken and cheese, fold sides in, then roll tightly.
Place chimichangas seam-side down on the baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool slightly before slicing in half and serve with sour cream and salsa.
