Changed up a few things so it could have an impact on the calories. I did not use burrito tortillas I used regular. I did not use salsa I used regular tomatoes that I diced. I doubled the meat. I used 1/4 cup of green enchilada sauce and instead of doubling the chili powder I did an additional amount of cumin. I used 1/2 the amount of cheese and instead of re-fried beans I used seasoned black beans (drained). I made extras so I could freeze and use for lunches. I came out with 20 chimichangas. Thank you for the recipe.

Mother of two, urban pagan, hippie chick, herbalist and massage therapist, love to cook and love to eat. I just started Weight Watchers online as a result of the last two! But I'm committed to finding and creating GOOD TASTING healthy foods so I can eat better forever, not temporarily diet to lose weight.
