Chocolate Banana Chimichangas Recipes

BANANAS FOSTER CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter . Stir in bananas and sugar, and stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour in rum and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Spoon half the banana mixture onto each flour tortilla, and roll up, tucking in the ends, like a burrito.
• In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry chimichangas until golden. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.

CHOCOLATE CHIMICHANGAS TO DIE FOR!

Steps:

• Mix confectioners' sugar and cinnamon together on a large, flat plate.
• Place tortillas on a flat work surface. Place 1/4 cup chocolate chips on the edge closest to you. Fold in opposing edges and roll tortilla up tightly like a burrito.
• Heat oil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat.
• Fry rolled tortillas in hot oil in batches, partially covered, using tongs to rotate them until they are golden brown on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Roll in sugar mixture until coated on all sides.

CHOCOLATE BAKED BANANAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 (or a BBQ). Make a slit through the skin of the bananas along one side - making sure you don't cut all the way through to the other side. Poke in the chocolate buttons along the cut. Put each banana onto a sheet of foil and crimp the edges together to seal into a parcel. Transfer to a baking sheet and cook for 25 mins until the bananas have turned black (or pop straight into the BBQ embers for 15 mins).
• Serve with a scoop of ice cream and any melted chocolate that has escaped!

SWEET BANANA CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add bananas and sugar; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Stir in whiskey. Add honey; simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors are combined, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Heat tortillas one at a time in a microwave until pliable, about 8 seconds.
• Spoon some of the banana mixture onto the bottom third of a tortilla. Fold in opposing edges and roll tortilla up tightly like a burrito, securing ends with toothpicks. Repeat with remaining mixture and tortillas.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

BANANA NUTELLA CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• In a 9" cast iron skillet, heat the canola oil to 350°.
• While the oil is heating, warm the tortillas in the microwave or oven.
• Dice the banana and mix it with the cinnamon, cayenne pepper and hazelnuts. Once the oil has reached the right temperature, spread each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of Nutella in the center, in about a 4" x 3" rectangle.
• Add the spiced banana mixture in a small clump on top of the Nutella, almost in the center of the tortilla but more towards one side than the other.
• Take the side of the tortilla with the bananas closer to the edge and begin rolling up the tortilla, tucking in the sides as you go so that all ingredients are completely enclosed. Secure with 2 or 3 toothpicks.
• Drop them carefully into the hot oil and fry for about 1 minute on each side. Keep in mind that because you are using a cast iron skillet to fry, the side of the tortilla touching the pan will brown quickly. Once the chimichangas are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel before eating.
