Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place a grill basket on the grill to heat while preparing the vegetables.
-
In a large bowl, combine the red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, red onion, corn, black beans, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss until well combined and the vegetables are coated with the spices.
-
Once the grill is hot, add the vegetable mixture to the preheated grill basket. Cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Place a flour tortilla on a clean work surface. Spoon a generous portion of the grilled vegetable mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
-
To fold the chimichanga, fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom, enclosing the filling. Place the chimichanga seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Repeat the filling and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and filling. Place the chimichangas on the baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other.
-
Lightly spray the tops of the chimichangas with cooking spray. This will help them crisp up in the oven.
-
Bake the chimichangas in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve the Grilled Vegetable Chimichangas hot with your favorite toppings such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and fresh cilantro.
