Follow these easy steps to create your Chicken Chimichangas with Green Sauce:

1. Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheese, refried beans (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Warm Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for a minute on each side to make them pliable.
3. Scoop Filling: Take a tortilla and place about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture in the center.
4. Fold Tortilla: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, tucking the filling in as you go to secure it.
5. Repeat: Continue this process for the remaining tortillas and filling.
6. Heat Oil: In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil over medium heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C).
7. Fry Chimichangas: Gently place the chimichangas in the hot oil, seam side down, and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.
8. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, remove them and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9. Serve with Sauce: Arrange the chimichangas on a serving platter and drizzle with green sauce.
10. Garnish: Add fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream on the side for a refreshing touch.

By following these steps, you’ll create wonderful Chicken Chimichangas with Green Sauce that will delight everyone at the table.
