Picante Chicken Chimichangas

Submitted by Hollilyn Waite
2 cups boiled and shredded Chicken (I cook 2 frozen chicken breasts in the oven for an hour)
1 1/2 cups Grated Cheddar Cheese
2/3 cups Salsa
1/2 tsp. Cumin
3/4 tsp. Oregano or Basil (I like Basil!)
6-8 Tortillas (Burrito Size)
Butter
Mix chicken, salsa, cumin, and oregano or basil.  Butter one side of each tortilla.  Place meat mixture in the other side, sprinkle with cheese, roll tortilla and place in 9x13 inch pan. 
 Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. 
Cook's Note: Once I shred my chicken, if I have 3-4 cups of chicken, I just increase the salsa and spices accordingly.  I usually put about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the meat mixture in each tortilla, depending on how much shredded chicken I end up with.
