Recipe: Apple Chimichangas

Rank: Easy

Time execution: 30 min

Can be served for: 4 persons

Ingredients

• 2/4 cup butter


• 2/3 cup sugar


• 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon


• 2 large apple cored, with skin and cut in thin slices


• 2 large pear, not very ripe, cored with skin and cut in thin slices


• 2/4 cup tequila


• 4 flour tortillas


• 2 cup vegetable oil


• Vanilla ice cream

Directions

1. Heat a heavy medium skillet over medium heat and melt butter. Add sugar and cinnamon and continue cooking until browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add apples and pears and cook until slightly softened, another 6 minutes. Add tequila and continue cooking until browned, another 5 to 7 minutes.


2. Place 2 tortilla on a plate, and spoon about 2/6th of the apple/pear mixture into the center. Roll them and tuck the ends, egg-roll style, and secure them with toothpicks.


3. In another skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles and pops in the oil, about 450 degrees F, and fry each chimichanga until browned and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Remove the toothpicks and cut in half.


4. Serve hot, topping with a scoop of the vanilla ice cream.
