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.

These were very very GOOD they were so easy to make and my family loved it. I did add some shredded cheddar cheese ontop for the last few minutes of baking. I will keep this recipe on file THANKS for sharing this one with us.

OK, I fudged on this great recipe, but I had to tell you how wonderful it was! I made JoAnn's Italian Beef (Italian Beef) recipe the other day and still had a bunch of beef leftover. So I made the chimichangas with that instead of the ground beef. I omitted the salt, but followed the rest of the recipe. I used mild Pace Picante sauce and vidalia onions. Since I'm on the Sugar Busters program I used whole wheat flour tortillas. Next time I'll watch them in the oven a little more closely as I seriously browned the tops. But this chimichanga recipe could put a serious hurtin' on local Mexican restaurants. Muy bueno!

What a great recipe! I was desperate for something to make tonight and found this. My kids liked it which is always a reason to give a recipe 5 stars! Instead of margarine I brushed the tortillas lightly with olive oil and they browned nicely. This would be a a good thing to make for a crowd, because you can bake a bunch at a time...maybe slice into appetizer-size portions and serve with several dips.

I used ground pork instead of beef and salsa instead of the sauce, and I can only say WOW! These are great!

I made this last night and found it to be very tasty and easy to make as well as to clean up. This one I will keep and pass along to my friends.

This was sooooo good. Two-thumbs-up from my family! The only changes I made were to use more than 1 clove of garlic (I used 3, but they were small) and to follow the lead of a few of the other reviewers and use olive oil instead of melted butter. I also sprinkled some grated cheddar on them, about 2 minutes before they were due to come out of the oven. These were fast and easy to prepare, and had a wonderful taste. The tortillas had a great crispy texture, too. I served them with a simple green salad and it's a meal I know I'll be making again!

To: Mysterygirl All I can say is "Super Chimi's"!!! They are excellent. I just put 4 together as there are only two of us here, and they disappeared promptly! Saved the leftover filling for another night. I added Paula's Easy Homemade Salsa to the filling and then topped the chimi's when I served them. Just yummie. Thanks for sharing. Those puppies deserve 5 stars! Sincerely, Laudee
