These sound pretty cool - more of an American food (via Mexico) than NZ perhaps, but I'm thinking it'll be quite yummy.
Ingredients:
Filling:
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
¼ red onion, diced
½ poblano pepper, seeded and diced
1 corn on the cob, kernels removed from cob
2 medium, cooked chicken breasts, shredded
¼ cup prepared salsa (of your choice)
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
salt and pepper to taste
16 (5 inch) flour tortillas
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
Sriracha dipping sauce:
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons Sriracha
1 lime, zested and juiced
¼ teaspoon salt
Method:
1. Preheat oil to 375°F.
2. Pour olive oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic, onion and poblano for 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add corn kernels and continue to sauté for 3 minutes.
3. Pour mixture over chicken and toss together. Add the prepared salsa and cheese and fold together until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Place a small amount of the filling into the center of each tortilla and fold up like a burrito and place onto a baking sheet, seam side down.
5. Holding the chimichangas together with tongs, carefully place and hold in the oil, for 2 minutes. Gently release the chimichanga from the tongs and continue to fry for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
6. For sauce: Place the ingredients into a small bowl and whisk together until fully incorporated. Serve with hot chimichangas.
