I do, I love it actually.  I have joked before that I was born a Mexican in a former life.  I am only halfway kidding when I make this joke!  I love to eat Mexican food of all varieties.  I have never really met much Mexican food that I didn’t like.  I am always looking for a good Mexican dish to make at home and that is why I was so excited to find this recipe.  A classic twist on a Mexican favorite:  the Chimichanga!

Like I do with most recipes, I changed this one a bit.  I added some sautéed peppers and onions with garlic to the filling.  I also added in a few jalapeno slices to kick it up a notch!  I also used some homemade salsa in the filling.  I served with guacamole and white cheese sauce.  I ended up making the filling the night before and then creating the Chimichangas the next.  This worked really well with a 9.5 month old crawling around.  These were yummy fresh and straight from the freezer.  It made like fifteen, so there were plenty for future meals.  I am becoming a huge fan of freezer cooking!

We had them for dinner tonight with Mexican rice, black beans with corn, and white cheese dip.  Delicious!  Top it off with a little Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia and you have a near perfect meal!  Since I made this in stages I forgot to take pictures, but when you go check out the recipe you will see some.
