Authentic Chimichanga Recipe

Image

Let me explain this is one of my proudest recipes. Created from scratch this is a Mexican Restaurant quality style recipe for Chimichangas. What are Chimichangas you ask? Basically they're a deep-fried Mexican dish, but my recipe will take it to another level. I guarantee you've never, ever tasted anything as good as these. I won't kid you, deep frying anything can't be good, but If you've been saving your fat calories for a taste bud adventure this is the recipe ride you want to take. If you won't to impress your friends with your worldly cooking skills, I can guarantee this Mexican food recipe will impress.

Here's how to make my World Famous Chimichangas

Recipe Ingredients

We used leftover roast chicken breast, then just baked them instead of frying. They were delicious and very tasty without being heavy or greasy.

Awesome! I'm going to eat Mexican all week. Europe was void of the stuff. Must get all the beer out of my system.

My fiance LOVES when I make these, I switched it up a bit... no bacon or cilantro and I use cheese sauce instead of shredded cheese. He actually said my chimis were better than his mom's. Im making them again tonight per his request! :-)

For the time being they've been removed due to the release of the book. I may change this in the future, but feel free to buy a copy at online retailers:

Liv's getting all capitalist on us. Soon when her book sales take off she'll be posting how people can't live on less than $350,000 a year and that Obama is taxing her to keep lazy bums like SFI in food stamps.

Psssst - For the proletariat there's always the wayback machine, vive la revolucion, keep the Internet free from the Capitalist Pigs
