Hey Dave - just dropping by to tell you that I made your chimichangas last night and used turkey. Oh my, hon - the flavors are so delightful and play one off the other perfectly. I love the Jamaican spin and the sauce was delicious...I did use the Pickapeppa Sauce.

High 5 (tho' you deserve mo') and many thanks...wow. :) ~Vickie
