Baked Chimichanga Salad image

I frequently prepare a large pork roast so I can have leftovers for these chicmichangas. My family prefers this salad version to the deep-fried variety.

This salad is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably make it again with less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as good as everyone else's. The chicken was dry and the vegetables were mushy.
