Do you love Mexican food as much as I do? I recently went to an authentic Mexican restaurant for my birthday and decided to try things that I've never had before. My main dish was Chicken Chimichangas. They were out of this world!! The next day, I was surfing the net for an easy, yet delicious, Chimichanga recipe. Based on all the positive reviews I read, I knew I found THE ONE. I opted for beef Chimichangas. The result was an amazing authentic meal that my entire family loved!! So, if you want to give it a try, you'll be surprised at how easy it is to make, how delicious it is and all the compliments you'll get!!
