These chimichangas were delicious! The beef and bean filling was perfectly seasoned, and the tortillas were crispy and golden brown. I served them with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa, and they were a huge hit with my family.

These chimichangas were a bit too greasy for my taste. The beef and bean filling was very flavorful, but the tortillas were a bit too oily. I would make these again, but I would try to find a way to make the tortillas less greasy.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made these chimichangas with black beans instead of beef. They were still delicious! The black bean filling was very flavorful, and the tortillas were crispy and golden brown. I served them with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa

These chimichangas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said the beef and bean filling was delicious, and the tortillas were crispy and golden brown. I would make these again, but I would use less chili powder next time.

I've made these chimichangas several times now, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make them ahead of time and freeze them, so they're always ready for a quick and easy meal.
