Breakfast Fruit Chimichangas
Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange peel, grated
- 6 flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup apricot preserves
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 cup apricots, sliced
- 1 cup apricot basting sauce (3/4 cup apricot jam + 1/4 cup water, heated)
Instructions
- Prepare apricot basting sauce; set aside.
- Heat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Mix cream cheese, ricotta cheese, sugar and orange peel thoroughly.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of the mixture into the center of each tortilla then spread with 1 tablespoon of preserves. Fold one end of the tortilla up about 1 inch over mixture; fold in the right and left sides over the folded end and then fold the remaining side to overlap the others.
- Brush the edges with egg to seal. Brush each with butter. Place seam sides down on an ungreased jellyroll pan, 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1 inch.
