Vegetarian Baked Chimichangas image

Believe it or not I'm a chimichanga virgin [so to speak], but after having my first chicken chimichanga at a wonderful Mexican restaurant in San Diego, I found the original of this vegetarian one [for my son & his wife] which I've managed to tweek a little!

These chimichangas were a great meal prep option. I made a big batch on the weekend and then had them for lunch all week.

I thought the chimichangas were a little bland. I added some extra spices and they were much better.

I'm not a vegetarian, but these chimichangas were so good I didn't even miss the meat.
