Notes

  • Storage: Leftover chimichangas can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze uncooked chimichangas. Just wrap them tightly and store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to two months.
  • Pairing: These chimichangas pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Variations: Experiment with different fruits! Blueberries, raspberries, or even peaches can make delicious fillings.
  • Cinnamon Sugar: Adjust the sugar and cinnamon ratio based on your preference.
