In more than one Mexican home I’ve stayed in chimichangas aren’t so much served as just always ready in the kitchen. The spiced shredded beef is in a pot on the stove, the tortillas are in a basket and the guacamole type sauce is in a covered bowl on the counter. Read more Stuff, fold, fry and top. Chimichangas are just easy. Of course, a half cup of meat per tortilla would be about right there. There are several recipes for shredded beef with various spices here at GR and most of you have your own recipe. Mince meat works okay but doesn’t stay in the tortilla as well. See less
