Can’t get enough of Mexican Food! Chimichangas are commonly known as a tortilla rolled around a savoury filling and deep fried. I don’t own a deep fryer, for health benefits I prefer to oven bake everything so I just simply put these in the oven.
These Chicken Chimichangas makes 8-9 parcels. To make this meal feed more, serve with a side of salad.

Its been a while since i saw a recipe I wanted to try, but this is fabulous!! Quick, easy and something we can do with the kids – brilliant! 🙂
They really are so yummy and my kids love helping make them too.:)
These look delicious…am thinking they would cook perfectly in my air fryer :-). What Mexican cheese did you use Kat? Thanks!
Hi Amanda, I used the Mexican cheese by Coon. It’s a shredded cheese.
I made these tonight and whilst we all enjoyed them I found them a little heavy. I will make again but cut back on the cheese and cream cheese and add some veges in. I think some capsicum and corn and fresh coriander would work well.
Veggies sound lovely in it too, great idea Rachel.
