I love chimichangas and I always order them when we are at a Mexican restaurant. I guess I never realized that you could make them at home. I'll definitely be trying this recipe. My husband will love that there are no beans involved. I think this would be tasty with chicken, pork or steak as the main meat. I have ordered ones called fajita chimichangas as well which has the steak, onions, and pepper all included. Delish!
