Fold the chimichangas
Lay 1 tortilla on a work surface and spread ¼ cup refried beans in a rectangular shape in the middle, leaving a 3” border on both ends. Top with ½ cup chicken mixture and ⅓ cup cheese. Fold the short ends over the filling and roll up into a tight cylinder. Put the chimichangas seam-side down on the June Air Basket. Repeat the folding process with the remaining 5 tortillas. Spray the tops and bottoms of the chimichangas with a light coating of nonstick cooking spray.
