3. Fry to Perfection
Heat about an inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place each chimichanga seam-side down and fry until golden brown and crispy—about 2–3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
4. Serve and Enjoy
Serve hot, topped with your favorite Tex-Mex fixings like sour cream, guac, and salsa. A side of rice or refried beans makes the perfect accompaniment.
Tips for Success
- Don’t overfill the tortillas or they’ll burst during frying.
- For a healthier version, brush the chimichangas with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
- Experiment with fillings—add black beans, green chilies, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
