Chicken Chimichanga

Chicken Chimichanga

A Chimichanga is a deep-fried burrito popular in Tex-Mex and Mexican cuisine. The Chicken Chimichanga is the variation of a Chimichanga with chicken as the main ingredient. The dish consists of a tortilla filled with savory chicken, beans, cheese, and sometimes rice. After the filling is wrapped tightly in the tortilla, it is fried until crispy and golden-brown. Often served with a side of guacamole, sour cream, and salsa, the Chicken Chimichanga is a delicious and satisfying meal. Though it is high in calories and fat due to the deep-frying method, chicken serves as a good source of lean protein. When prepared at home, the dish can be made healthier by oven-baking instead of deep-frying.
