  • You can also bake the chimichangas in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • For a healthier version, you can use whole wheat tortillas and bake the chimichangas instead of frying.

  • Leftover chimichangas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place the chimichangas in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
