All the crispiness of a chimichanga but baked for less guilt. Feel free to experiment with the filling. Easily adaptable to your tastes and dietary needs - can be made vegetarian or with corn tortillas for a gluten free option.

I really loved these. I cut this recipe in half and my whole wheat tortillas must have been kinda little as I got three chimichangas out of this recipe. But, that's fine with me as now I have leftovers! Added my picture, too. A teeny bit more in I...more
