Made this for my daughter and she loved it.Easy to put together and tasty. Had no tortillas so I made them from bread dough.

I am amazed that this simple of a dish is so delicious. We loved it. My husband is usually a critic and really appreciates flavor, and he enjoyed this! I used whole wheat tortillas, and it was perfect. Served with polenta, and it's a meal.

Oh goodness - the RAVES I got when I decided to do Mexican night starring these chimichangas. Everyone loved these - next time I'll make a double batch. For the four people who were eating, the six chimichangas this made just wasn't enough. I paired it up with Sweet Corn Tomalito and refried beans. WONDERFUL! This is going in my permanent recipe collection.

Had guests over this evening and this was a huge hit with everyone! Very tasty and so easy to make. I doubled the recipe and served it with refried beans. This is a dish I will be making over and over again.
