These were good although I altered the recipe slightly. I cooked the onion and garlic with the ground beef, then I added in homemade salsa instead of canned tomatoes and also added in a pinch of oregano and cumin along with the remaining ingredients. Other change was that I cooked these at 400 degrees to get a crisper result and topped with some additional shredded cheese for the last 5 minutes. Everyone loved them :) Made for ZWT5.

These were good. After tasting the meat mixture I decided that we needed more of something. The mix was pretty dry and that made the chimichangas dry too. Next time I will stir in a little flour after frying the meat then add a little water to make it moister. I will also kick up the seasonings some more. All in all a good dinner that I will make again with a few changes. Made for ZWT5 for the Cooks with Dirty Faces. Thanks for a quick, easy recipe.
