Oven-Fried Chicken Chimichangas

A fast and healthier way to serve Chimichangas than the traditional deep fried. These are very good, and you may dress them up to you own preference. I like to serve with green chile sauce sometimes instead of the picante sauce. (Recipes courtesy of Food.com - Miss Annie)
