Quick Notes
- You can use left over grilled Carne asada meat to make these chimichangas.

- These chimichangas can be air fried too, brush them with melted butter before adding them to the air fryer, then air fry them for 8-10 minutes on 400F.
- Air fry frozen chimichangas by wrapping them in foil and air frying them on on 400F for about 18-20 minutes.
