1/2 cup onion, chopped

1/2 cup green pepper, chopped

1/4 cup Picante or enchilada sauce, green or red

remove from heat, add cheese

spoon mixture into center of shell, fold over edges and form into squares

place chimichangas in pie iron and heat over the camp fire!

can serve over hot refried beans, top with lettuce, tomato, sour cream, salsa, whatever you like.

I make this ahead of time, and wrap them in tinfoil and throw them in the freezer. 

Take out a day ahead of time to thaw.

Idea from Lindsay.... we added Spanish rice to the next batch we made, and it worked great! I made the rice, and then added it to the completed chicken/cheese mixture. It also froze really well!

recipe from Eric

mozzarella cheese

Jalepenos 

Layer the following on pan...

Taco chips 

sausage and chicken

mozzarella cheese
jalapenos

drizzle with Alfredo sauce

bake at 400 degrees until cheese is melted and just turning golden brown

no dipping sauce is needed

*Tips for Alfredo sauce. Mix in can well, the thick stuff is at the bottom. Because you won't use the whole jar, pour some in a bowl and warm just slightly in the microwave. Drizzle over nachos with a spoon.

*The chicken is optional, but we think it taste the best with both

*Jalapenos are also optional. I don't eat them, but I do like the flavor baked into the nachos

*can also add green pepper, or use that instead of jalapenos
