    I love chimichangas but don't like the deep frying part. This is a perfect way to easily make them!

    These are spicy little things! I liked the baked part of them and how crispy they turned out. Added my picture, too. More stuff in IMI

    I have found from making these several times that some people prefer them "without" the cinnamon(my mom being one). Either way I think they are good.

    These sound like they could be really interesting (cinnamon, huh??)...and, worth a try :) Thank you for posting the recipe, ShelleyBean :)
    [BTW, thanks for adding your note by the cinnamon -- I had to take a second look to make sure :)...]
