These chimichangas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices to the filling next time.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. You can use any type of cheese or salsa that you like. I also like to add some chopped cilantro or jalapeños to the filling for a little extra flavor.

These chimichangas were easy to make and turned out great. I used brown rice and added some black beans to the filling for extra protein.
