What is the main ingrediant in a chimichanga?

Answer 1

A flour tortilla is required.

The filling depends on what kind of chimmy you want. If it's a pork meat, the meat or carnitas is usually the main ingredient, followed with beans on occasion. If its ground beef, you definitely want to add beans, because the beef would be too strong and overpowering. If it's chicken, you want half meat and an equal portion of rice and sauteed veggies, like bell peppers, onions and even chilies. Shredded beef is usually paired with beans, but just like the carnitas chimmy, you want more meat than beans.

Answer

I use leftover turkey, cut up, and shredded jack or cheddar cheese. Yum! Serve with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, cut up green onions.

Here in Arizona, people also stuff them with fruit pie filling.
