Streamlined Chimichangas

Oh goodness - the RAVES I got when I decided to do Mexican night starring these chimichangas. Everyone loved these - next time I'll make a double batch. For the four people who were eating, the six chimichangas this made just wasn't enough. I paired it up with Sweet Corn Tomalito and refried beans. WONDERFUL! This is going in my permanent recipe collection.

These were very very GOOD they were so easy to make and my family loved it. I did add some shredded cheddar cheese ontop for the last few minutes of baking. I will keep this recipe on file THANKS for sharing this one with us. :)

OK, I fudged on this great recipe, but I had to tell you how wonderful it was! I made JoAnn's Italian Beef (recipe #16511) recipe the other day and still had a bunch of beef leftover. So I made the chimichangas with that instead of the ground beef. I omitted the salt, but followed the rest of the recipe. I used mild Pace Picante sauce and vidalia onions. Since I'm on the Sugar Busters program I used whole wheat flour tortillas. Next time I'll watch them in the oven a little more closely as I seriously browned the tops. But this chimichanga recipe could put a serious hurtin' on local Mexican restaurants. Muy bueno!

I made this last night and found it to be very tasty and easy to make as well as to clean up. This one I will keep and pass along to my friends.

What a great recipe! I was desperate for something to make tonight and found this. My kids liked it which is always a reason to give a recipe 5 stars! Instead of margarine I brushed the tortillas lightly with olive oil and they browned nicely. This would be a a good thing to make for a crowd, because you can bake a bunch at a time...maybe slice into appetizer-size portions and serve with several dips.
