Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, as warm and welcoming as a summer's day on the prairie.
2. In a large bowl, stir together your chicken, cheese, salsa, green chilies, cumin, oregano, and chili powder. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, just like you would add a pinch of love to any dish.
3. Lay a tortilla flat on your workspace, and spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture down the center. Fold in the sides and roll up the tortilla tightly, securing the bounty within.
4. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and place each chimichanga seam-side down on a greased baking sheet, giving them enough room to breathe and bake evenly.
5. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil or spray with cooking spray to give them a tan akin to a bountiful harvest under the sun.
6. Slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until chimichangas turn a shade of golden brown, as lovely as the fields of ripened wheat.
7. Let them rest for a brief spell, giving you just enough time to set the table with your finest folk.
