Ww Skinny Chimichangas

Submitted by teresas

"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!!

This is a great recipe, and the best part is that you don't have to feel guilty eating them! A good recipe to keep on hand with for healthy lunches throughout the week.

This was quick and easy to make. I used my own homemade taco seasoning and mild Rotel tomatoes instead of tomato sauce.

These are really healthy. Unless you're on a special diet, you'd need to add salt in order for this to have a lot of flavor.

I was not a big fan of these. They just didn't have a very good taste to them. I'm not sure what would help with the flavor, though. I would highly consider eating them with salsa...at the very least.
