Anytime I can take a favourite dish and modify it to be healthy or at least ‘healthier’ than the original – I am on it! Traditionally, chimichangas are deep-fried – so the thought of making the same type of recipe and then baking them in the oven was an appealing alternative for me.

This is pretty quick and easy to cook if you have the chicken cooked ahead of time.
