Baked Imitation Crab Chimichangas: A Delightful Twist on a Mexican Classic

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounce imitation crab
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 4 large tortillas (10 inches)
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • Salsa or sour cream for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and lightly grease a baking sheet. In a medium bowl, combine the imitation crab, cottage cheese, Parmesan, egg, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, shredded cheese, and refried beans. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.

2. Next, spoon the filling onto the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a burrito shape. Place the chimichangas seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops of the chimichangas with the canola oil.

3. Bake the Baked Imitation Crab Chimichangas for 20–25 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they’re golden and crispy. Serve the warm chimichangas with your choice of salsa or sour cream for a delightful dipping experience.

Notes

Imitation crab is a versatile and cost-effective ingredient that can add a delicious seafood-like flavor to your Baked Imitation Crab Chimichangas. Made from processed white fish, imitation crab is a great source of protein and is often lower in calories and fat compared to real crab meat.
