These mini chimichangas were delicious, but they were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my mini chimichangas turned out soggy. I think I might have overfilled them.

These mini chimichangas were a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some black beans and corn to the filling to make them even more hearty.

I had a hard time finding wonton wrappers at my local grocery store. I ended up using egg roll wrappers instead and they worked just fine.

These mini chimichangas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll probably use less jalapenos next time.
