Chicken Chimichangas

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
• 1/2 cup red enchilada sauce
• 1 1/2 onion, diced, divided
• 6 (12 inch) flour tortillas
• 4 cups diced cooked chicken breast, divided
• 1 pound Monterey Jack cheese, shredded, divided
• 1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives
• 4 cups refried beans, divided
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• TOPPING
• 3 avocados, peeled and pitted
• 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 green onions, diced
• 1/4 cup finely chopped jalapeno chile peppers
• 1 tomato, diced
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan combine the broth, rice, sauce, and 1 diced onion. Mix and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 20 minutes, or until rice is tender.
2. Meanwhile, heat tortillas in a large skillet (so that they are soft enough to fold).
3. When rice mixture is ready, spoon equal amounts of the following onto each tortilla: Chicken, shredded Jack cheese, diced onion, olives, rice mixture and beans. Roll tortillas, tucking in sides to prevent filling from spilling over.
4. Heat oil in a large skillet and fry the filled tortillas, turning, until browned on all sides. Drain on paper towels.
5. To Serve: In a medium bowl combine the avocados, cilantro, lemon juice, green onions, chile peppers and tomatoes. Mash together. Place shredded lettuce on a platter, topped with chimichangas, avocado mix, sour cream and shredded Cheddar cheese.
