Boudin Chimichangas with Crawfish Cream Sauce
Get ready for a delicious Cajun twist that will have your taste buds dancing!
Hey friends! If you're looking to elevate your meal game, you're in for a treat. These Boudin Chimichangas are not just your average dish; they're crunchy, flavorful, and topped with a dreamy crawfish cream sauce that you won't be able to resist. So, let’s gather our ingredients and get cooking!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boudin sausage (casings removed)
- 6 soft taco-size flour tortillas
- 6 sticks pepper jack cheese
- 6 tsp Creole seasoning
- Oil or butter for frying
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
- 12 oz crawfish tails
- 1 1/2 cups half-and-half or heavy cream
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp dried onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1-2 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp butter
- Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Directions:
1. Prep the Chimichangas: First, let’s warm those tortillas so they’re nice and flexible. Fill each one with a hefty scoop of boudin, a stick of pepper jack cheese, and a sprinkle of that zesty Creole seasoning. Now, fold them tightly and secure with toothpicks—these little pockets of joy are almost ready to party!
2. Fry Until Golden: Time to get sizzling! Heat up some oil to 350°F (175°C) and carefully place the chimichangas into the hot oil. Fry them up for about 4–5 minutes until they’re beautifully crisp and golden. When they're ready, drain them on some paper towels to soak up any extra oil.
3. Make the Sauce: In a pan, sauté the minced garlic in olive oil. Then, add the flour and dried onion to create a light roux. Stir in those wonderful crawfish tails and Cajun seasoning for a quick cook. Next, pour in the half-and-half and Worcestershire sauce, letting it simmer until it thickens to perfection. Stir in butter and, if you're feeling it, that optional cheddar cheese until everything is smooth and creamy.
4. Serve It Up: Slice those chimichangas in half to reveal their tasty insides. Top each with that luscious crawfish sauce and a sprinkle of green onions. Look at that! You’re ready to serve up some smiles.
