Ingredients

3 teaspoons olive oil
½ onion (chopped)
1 pound ground turkey
2 teaspoons adobo seasoning
½ cup corn (drained)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
½ cup black refried beans
1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
6 large tortillas
Cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Heat oil over medium high and add in onions. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until onions begin to soften and turn translucent.
Add in ground turkey and adobo seasoning. Continue cooking 5-6 minutes, stirring as needed, until turkey browns and is cooked through. Add the corn and tomato paste. Mix well. Remove from heat.
Add a tablespoon of refried beans to the center of the tortillas, spread it out over the half of the inside radius of the tortilla. Next, layer over it about 2-3 tablespoons of ground turkey mixture, next, top with 2 tablespoons of cheese. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Fold tortilla over like a burrito, ensuring the ends are tucked in and place the chimichangas seam side down over a baking pan. Repeat with all chimichangas.
Spray the top of the chimichangas with cooking spray, this helps keep it from burning and gives it a beautiful golden color.
Bake for 20 minutes for cheese to melt and everything to heat through.
If desired, place under the broiler for up to a minute for a gentle smokey roasted taste.
Serve warm.
