Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
1 can pinto beans - (29 oz) rinsed and drained
1 can sliced ripe olives - (4 oz) drained
1 can diced green chilies - (7 oz)
1 cup prepared coleslaw mix with carrots
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 cup tomato salsa
6 x nonfat flour tortillas - (10" dia)
(or reduced-fat tortillas)
Reduced-fat sour cream for serving
Instructions:
Instructions: In a bowl, combine beans, olives, chilies, coleslaw mix, cheese, and 1 cup of the salsa.

Wrap tortillas in a cloth towel and microwave on high (100 percent) until hot and pliable, about 1 1/2 minutes. Lay tortillas flat. Spread each with 1/6 of bean mixture in a band near edge. Fold over sides and roll up tightly to enclose.

Place bundles seam-side down on a lightly oiled 12- by 15-inch baking sheet. Bake in a 425 degrees oven until crisp and brown, about 15 minutes. Top each chimichanga with additional salsa, sour cream, and green onions.

This recipe yields 6 servings.

Comments: Meals in Patti Atterberrys home must be two things: healthful and fast enough to fit into her 80-hour workweek. On the health front, she satisfies her yen for Mexican food with crisp, vegetable-filled chimichangas that are baked, not fried. As for fast, Atterberry says, "I named them after my friend Paulette, who claims she cant cook. Theyre so easy even she can do them."
