    LOVE chimichangas!!! Last couple of times, I've brushed a little oil on 'em and pan fried them. Not as good as deep fried, but probably a little healthier. And far less oil to deal with! =)

    Gotta have refried beans too. Mine are canned pintos with Badia pinto bean seasoning (basically garlic & onion powder, cumin, paprika, s&p), mashed with a potato masher.

    Now I'm hungry!!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    You are a master of the art of simple and delicious. An excellent cook for sure.

    I've read that no one knows the origin of the "chimichanga"; it's not Mexican.

    Thanks @lousubcap - I guess you missed the 135° rotation of the plate.

    That is one of my most favorite meals, and you make it look so easy and delicious. It definitely resides within the top 10 of your posts.

    I would love to make those, but we have a great cantina just a couple of blocks away,  which also serves great margaritas.

    My Beautiful Wife and I love taking the stroll, and coming back, without doing the dishes.

    Did I ever mention I am lazy? Or that is one of my better qualities?

    Great cook as always, thank you for sharing.

    You still have grass? My lawn is gone thanks to the drought and the the upper 90s and 100s temps did us in.

    Great food and a great lawn. Very envious.
