Easy, flavourful, and a million times healthier than the deep-fried versions known as chimichangas, these crispy baked burritos are filled to the brim with goodness! Serve with spicy salsa and a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Read more Adapted from a few recipes from the 'net. See less

Thanks for the great post. It's been years since I have had a chimichanga. I love them, but avoid them for the same reason you point out. I can't wait to try this recipe. (Amy's offers an excellent line of food:)
