- Pans of chimichangas can be frozen before baking. Do not brush with oil until ready to bake.
- Alternately, you can bake all the chiimichangas (brush with oil first.) Let them cool, then wrap each one separately in waxed paper, put 10 or so in a gallon zip lock bag and freeze. These make great lunches! Microwave for approximately one minute.
