The Chimichanga, or chivichanga, ( pronounced chim·i·chan·ga ) is a deep-fried burrito that originated in Mexico.
Flour tortillas are folded into rectangular packages and filled with a wide range of ingredients, most commonly beans, rice, cheese and shredded meat. They are then deep-fried and served without a sauce but may be accompanied with salsa, guacamole, sour cream or cheese.
