Yes please, two if I may,lol.
When purchasing new dinner sets, we always buy 3, to cover visitors. I specifically asked my wife to buy plain white.

My pasta bowls are also white, and it's actually glass.

While these are lovely looking and sounding toasty burritos, I thought chimichangas were always deep fried?

They usually are. Deep fried foods aggravates my diverticulitis. I have moved to oven fried. Their darn delicious

Sorry to hear you suffer from that. I know it puts quite a few limitations on what you can eat.

Thanks for reminding us of this! Whenever I hear "Chimichanga" I think "deep fried", but this is a a lighter take that won;t make me feel sick later from the usual greasiness of a chimichanga.

We have family coming in tonight for the weekend. They have requested this for dinner one night This dish is easy, and a huge family hit!!!

I haven't had a chimichanga in many years. Surprisingly, they don't seem as popular in Texas as they were when I was a teen in the 70s. I'm not sure if they are even on the menu at the Tex-Mex joints I frequent. They are basically a fried burrito. They should come out well baked, too, but you probably need more cooking time that way.

I'm making this again for friends and family on Friday. What's a good side dish I could serve?

I found a couple of the pictures

Spanish Rice: I cheated. I bought a box of Spanish rice to use for the stuffing

Ingredients:
Spanish Rice
Shredded Chicken (I used three breasts)
Medium spicy salsa
Cumin
Oregano
4 tortillas

Method

• Shred the chicken and mix it in with the cooked Spanish rice. Add the listed seasonings and salsa (and a few other things, but I can't remember what they were).
• Stuff and wrap the tortillas. (FWIW, Colleen tried to show me how to wrap them properly, but you can see I failed. I lightly brushed them with oil and baked them in the oven).
• Top with whatever you like.

Question could I use an egg wrap and cauliflower rice instead of Spanish rich and tortillas? I am doing the keto diet.

 

[detroitdad]

I don't know how an egg wrap will work. Why not give it a try!

On FRI a small batch of them will be made with a Vegan recipe. Still not sure on the stuffing. Probably zukes, ect......

I think I'll keep it simple. Serve chips and guac with it.
