My husband loves this beef chimichanga recipe! I often double the recipe and freeze the chimichangas individually to take out as needed. I serve them with shredded lettuce and sour cream. -Schelby Thompson, Camden Wyoming, Delaware

These were so good! I made them for my family and they loved them. The only thing I would change is to add a little more cheese. Other than that, they were perfect.
