These chimichangas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

The filling was a bit too dry. I would recommend adding more sauce or salsa.

The tortillas were too thick and chewy. I would recommend using a thinner tortilla.

These cheesy chimichangas were a bit too cheesy for my taste. I would recommend using less cheese or a different type of cheese.

I made a few changes to the recipe and my chimichangas still turned out great! I used a different type of cheese and added some chopped bell peppers to the filling. I also served them with a tomatillo salsa. They were a hit with my family and I will
