Homemade Chimichangas Recipe

This Homemade Chimichangas recipe is the last recipe in my Mexican Food Fiesta roundup. These Mexican recipes are perfect for your Cinco de Mayo celebration or for any day you are craving authentic Mexican food.

As I mentioned these authentic Mexican recipes come from an old cook book I picked up at a thrift store. I can't wait to make more of the recipes and share them with you. Every Mexican recipe I have made from the cook book has turned out perfect.

These homemade Chimis are made with shredded beef. You could use my crock pot shredded beef recipe to fill your Chimichangas like I did or you could use shredded chicken, pork or even make a vegetarian version filling your chimichangas with beans and cheese.
