Baked Vegetarian Chimichangas

This is a "throw together" meal.  Measurements are estimated and eye-balled, it's all pretty much "to taste"

1 bag shredded coleslaw mix (green cabbage, purple cabbage and shredded carrots)
1/2 onion finely chopped
1 can chopped tomato  OR 1 can of Rotelle tomatoes for spice
1 chipotle (chopped) in adobo sauce (add extra sauce --this stuff is HOT be careful)
1 small can chopped green chiles (optional)

Spices:

Salt & Pepper to taste
cumin about a tsp or so
smoked paprika - meh... about a 1/2 tsp
OR
couple tbs taco seasoning

If you wanted to add meat, you could slice up some cooked ham or turkey, or brown some hamburger meat with the taco seasoning.

Combine all together and let sit for a couple minutes to blend flavors.

12 flour tortillas (made without lard)

Spray a 13x9 casserole dish with pam.  Warm tortillas and place filling and wrap. Place seam side down in dish. Spray tops with pam or rub with butter.  Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes, then under broiler until golden brown (low about 20 minutes.. high- keep an eye on it, goes fast).

Great with spanish rice as a side dish.
