Ww Skinny Chimichangas

TeresaS's Note:

This is out of my Weight Watchers cookbook called "Take-Out Tonight!" This is an excellent low fat chimchangas recipe. It is baked, instead of deep-fried. The burrito comes out crispy with a moist and flavorful filling. This has 4 points per serving. You can top these chimichangas with your favorite salsa and, for an extra 1 point per serving, 2 tablespoons fat-free sour cream.

These were good, I used hot salsa because I forgot to buy tomoato sauce, I did think they were better the next day as leftovers. Dh didn't like them but he is not to big on turkey. Thanks!!

Yum! This was a pretty good recipe. Very easy to make as well. I made exactly as directed, except I doubled it so I would have leftovers for a lazy Saturday! My tortilla shells kept breaking as I rolled them...I had even warmed them up first. Other than that though they were still a yummy supper. Thanks for posting! Made for Zaar Staars tag game.

Just ok. Not my favorite. Needs something extra to make it work, maybe something crunchy.
