Check out my new Chimichangas recipe video! czcams.com/video/_HYaR6A53WQ/video.html 😃
Lucky family! Found this gem while searching slow cook chicken but will be trying this asap!
My only thing I would point out, is you using plastic tipped tongs while frying. I would recommend using metal tongs myself.
I recently learned how to make Korean fried chicken without using a fryer and saved a bunch of oil. I just coat the chicken with rice powder and corn starch. Put chicken on an oiled foil tray and coat the chickens with oil spray and cook them in the oven.
My question is, I wonder if I can get my chimichangaz the same way. Coat them in oil and just pop them into the oven to fry them with less mess and waste.

I just made these for my wife and myself. But used leftover rotisserie chicken, re fried beans and some spices, cheese and salsa. My wife was duly impressed with this newbe to cooking (only 82 yrs old, so never too late to learn) They turned out great! Thank you for some great tips and recipes.
Wow wasent expecting that kind of review down here GOOD FOR YOU 👍😀
Awesome Don! I bet they turned out DELICIOUS!
That's truly beautiful and you made my day.
Yep I do the same, tastes so much better...I also add cut up bell peppers in the mix..
Good for you Don. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks.😊
I hope your children and husband appreciate how you make good food from scratch, always going the extra mile to make your own tortillas and sauces.
I really enjoyed watching you fold/wrap/stuff the chimichangas and the music that was playing. Thank you for the recipe!
I've grown up making these with my mama. Only thing I'd recommend for anyone who has problems with them not holding. If you fill your tortilla closer to one side, you get a much tighter roll. 👍
Awesome
Also when you goto roll them if you pinch either side then fold the top over and then pinch all of the edges into the roll as you go steadily tightening as you go. Basically opposite of how she rolled hers. Pinch your edges in first then the tops and bottoms kind of like a joint

The same night I made the enchiladas, I made this for my wifes lunch for the next day. She is the manager there, and her co-workers asked if I would make some for them as well.!! ;) So easy to make, and puts a smile on everyones face. Yes, I made more for her coworkers, they are quite envious of her now.
I made this today same just added mushrooms, pan cooked the chicken and added onions , I'm so in love with this why eat out when I can make this for the family at home, thanks so much for sharing. My family had me go bad and make another batch the same night! So serious. It was as smash hit love that its easy to make ahead and freeze.
Awesome 👍
Yum
Great idea. Yum
A friendly Hello, Mr. Cole...You sound like a very dear & loving Father...Bless you & your family...
So when you go to use after frozen, what temp is the oven and for how long?
When I was a kid, my Mom used to make fresh tortillas almost every night. Then, they started making those tortillas in a bag from the store and fresh tortillas were over at our house. Damn those store bought tortillas!
bhud1972 lol
Nothing beats a fresh homemade tortilla!
bhud1972 I feel you man I try making my own but they never come out right I’m doomed for life
😭 I hope you were able to have more fresh tortillas later in life!
Sounds amazing!
Im so happy to see someone appreciate Mexican Food:) The fact that you made homemade flour tortillas whole new level of Respect ✊🏾.
@Trash Man Man Rachael ray
What's and tortillas so hard?
Appreciate Mexican food? Please its like top 10 cuisine world wide.
I know what you mean ✊🏾
@@marcane6122 ok ok ok
It looks like so delicious. Thank you so much!
A bit of tips. For a good sealing on the wrapper, use a corn starch diluted with water, then brush it a little on the edge of the wrapping on the final fold. It will make sure the wrap more secure and won''t unravel when you fried it.
Awesome tip!
Watching this at 3:30 in the morning and starving was no bueno haha
4:34 am so I'm in the same boat
hi
Hahahaha i meant, jajajaja.
3:56am :(
Seven months later I too and watching it at 3:30 in the morning, and now I'm starving.
It’s that great crunch that gets me all the time.
Amazing recipe! I cannot believe I just made chimichangas, even made the home made tortillas! So delicious!
I'm a professional Chef and have to say, you've got mad skills with the pastry. I was very impressed. I used to live in Spain and eat a lot of these types of bad boys. There's a gazillion different things you can stuff in them tasty looking tortillas. Here's a tip, when using that Chef knife of your, you want to use the lower part of your knife when cutting, slicing etc. It's far more efficient/controllable and considerably safer.
Thanks for sharing and greetings from Scotland!
Subbed!
PS the tortilla recipe is broadly similar to a Chinese dough. They use boiling water and then use two chopsticks, one in each hand, stirring the mix anti-clockwise. Bizarrely, it works really well. Saves burning your fingers and enhances your dough!
@@KingofGoblins1 lol it's ok. Doesn't matter where they come from. They're delicious!
@@jessicaballerstadttaylor1975 true 👍
@@KingofGoblins1 The take away for me is; the Spanish can't even resist Mexican Cuisine!
What other things do you like to fill the tortilla with?
Alvaro García so what do you call them in spain
I love the detail you put into your recipes. It’s saved me so many times. My mom worked a lot when I was growing up, so she didn’t cook much, but when she did I never learned because she didn’t have time. Now she’s older and doesn’t like to cook much, so I’m learning and you’ve been a big help.
Although I can only wish I grew up eating all her delicious and comforting recipes, I 💯% can relate with your attitude of grattitude for someone who keeps pleasant memories of home alive. My Mom was a good cook who passed on without passing down her recipes and now it's a rare blessing to discover a recipe that tastes like one of hers.
My mom did too, but I learned it from our babysitter and I was in the fourth grade too. Then I grew up and worked and cooked for my three boys and now I'm stay home due to illness and I can't do much and I'm still young in my 50's and I hurt so much. I worked at a young aged a lot with my hands. I'm sad but I try my best to cook.
I tried these tonight, my wife and I loved them. I used the store bought tortillas and they didn't look as good as yours. Love your presentation style, so easy to listen to and follow.
Like others here, I made these last night using rotisserie chicken. I didn't have any colby, but did have shredded taco mix cheese. Everything else was just as like your recipe. They came out awesome! Best chimichangas I've ever eaten, and I've eaten a lot of them. I used to dread getting a whole rotisserie because invariably I through away most of the chicken. No mas, I"ll be the chimichanga king of Modesto! Can't wait for bible study this coming Monday night... going to bring them to the group. Love all your videos; lucky family to have such a great cook!
This self quarantine thing, plus your cooking tutorials are making me a PRO in the kitchen! Thank you for the endless recipes!
Stay safe everyone.
You be safe also. We'll get through this together.
Quite theSoph : 79th day of lockdown in South Africa ❣🐸❣. Guess what we're having for supper?
Same lol I'm gonna gain 30 pounds
The only virus spread by television
First time making these. I always brought them from the store and then deep fried at home. I just wanted to let you know they were delicious. I was praying that they will come out looking like your and they did. Thank you.
I dip my tortilla in melted butter, both sides, then I bake them and they’re delicious, nice and crispy 😋
This looks so good. I will make it. Thank you for making this video. I am subscribed.

I live in Greece, we only have take away, it's good but i'm glad i found you so i can make authentic Mexican food. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.😅😅😅😅😅
These look really good! I make something similar. I use egg roll wrappers and use a mixture of ground sausage, sauteed mushrooms, finely chopped ginger,and shredded mozzarella. I cook/melt the mixture before wrapping and frying. I call them italian egg rolls. Wonderful to dip in sweet and sour or bbq sauce.
I made these they were 🤤🤤🤤🤤 so crispy on the outside o lord hmmmmm I almost eat my finger while eating these
Wooooh you go girl! It's like you don't run out of ideas when it comes to cooking. You're on a roll
Hola hermosa.Me encantaría probar las chimichangas. Desde hace mucho he querido hacerlas y ahora con tu deliciosa receta seguro que las preparo. Espero que estés pasando un feliz domingo 🌹😊
I made these yesterday! My family loved these so much, they want them again this upcoming week.
My mistake of watching this before bed... now I’m hungry lol! 😂 love it, another addition to my recipes! Thanks ❤️🙏
Omg you have the best videos to explain recipes. You go over every step and give all sorts of possible options we can do throughout the entire recipe, giving us more options to make it does for us. I love that, not that yours aren't amazing as it is but for me I suck at cooking. I'm not at that point where I can just whip something up from whatever I have so u love that you lay out allot of options. Your videos are awesome and your my favorite recipe channel to watch! Thanks for everything
Love the shallow fry! I've been using toothpicks to deep-fry and this is life changing.
REAL FOOD!!!!, ALL REAL !!! NOT COMMERCIAL! LOVE IT!💓💓💓
I saw this video and I immediately bought and cooked all the ingredients for this amazing dish, thannnkkk yoouuu Sensei *bows*
Exactly What I Was Looking For... You're Never Short Of A Much Needed Recipe 😁 Gracias...Otra Vez !!!!🥘🥙💯!!!!
Thank you I have no idea how anybody could dislike this so simple to follow and honestly not as hard as I thought
Just made these 1.29.22 with the wife. Used leftover oven baked chicken we cooked 3 days ago, absolutely fantastic, and the recipe was so easy! Thank you for your video!
I loved the tortilla portion the most. I want to try making tortillas for my homemade burritos. Awesome video, thank you. 😀👍
I made mine with refried beans, chicken and cheese! Sooooo delicious!😋💗 Thanks!
I just made these tonight and the family loved them!! Thank you for the recipe😘
Thank you! I now feel confident enough to try making these. I love to watch you making your tortillas. Bravo!
Everybody loves the 'crunch' of the tortillas, I'm watching you..actually I'd never heard of them, they look scrumptious.
Why am I watching this at 11pm? 😫🤤🤤
cflowermakeup I DONT know...did you really expect someone to know? Lmao
Cause you like to cook and ur learning and ur awesome just like me and everyone else who watches her cook it’s peaceful listening to one of my favorite CZcamsr lol I made up a word I think.
Im watching this at 12 pm
It’s 1:15 am and I’m watching because I love Chimichangas!!
same here. I'm watching this at 23:36 CET but my curiosity came from the episode "The Return" from The Office US version where they show Chimichangas being prepared for Oscar's Mexican party. :P
The amount of effort you take to cook for your family is something else. I wish I had this as a kid.
I’ve been wanting to cook these for so long so I’m excited that I found your video. This looks so simple but so good. Thank you for sharing and for explaining it. I can’t wait to try these. They look awesome!!
You know your food and cook with passion. Prayers for you and your family and for all of us at this time. God Bless you and thank you for sharing your passion for food and people! -Mike
Fantastic! I love that you are making the recipes available to such a wide audience. This is the true Texmex that I grew up with. Most people don't know that, even in Texas, these exact flavors and techniques aren't found much further north than Austin. Also, your videos have gotten so good compared to when you started! It's fun to see your subscriber count grow.
I live in Dallas and there are some great authentic Mexican food and Tex-Mex places here but I've noticed it's much different variety the closer you get to the border which I love!
I am from South Texas living in DFW and there are very few restaurants that do Tex Mex well. It's depressing.
@@samanthaquintana7622 Me too. TC was okay but I got mad at them for not serving carne guisada anymore.
@Mimi I know the difference between Mexican and Tex-Mex. My husband's is Mexican and his whole family straight from Mexico so I know what real Mexican food is and the places to go to. You just have to know where.
Samantha Quintana there's nothing better then South Texas Mexican food.... Viva Alice Texas ...🤠
I messed up the recipe you posted for the tortillas (and left a comment, but I will try again at a later date) , so I bought tortillas and prepared this. I have to say, this was a HIT! I've made quite a bit of dishes that I found so that we're not cooking and eating the same foods, and many don't make "the list" (you know, the list of foods that everyone begs you to make because they have a craving for it). This was IMMEDIATELY put on the list. Thank you for sharing this
This lady is an awesome chef in the kitchen I would cook with her anytime thank you so much for showing us your awesome videos and all the things you cook are awesome much love to you and your family thank you for saving me with all your awesome cooking skills I learned so much watching your videos this lady has saved my dinner so many times I can't even count thank you again keep up the great videos I enjoy them You're so awesome
This is why I'm fine celebrating two mother's days.
Mouth watering! I'm glad I watched this before trying my first batch!
Awsome video. You give enough instructions for a novice like myself to learn the basics then build off of what you showed! Easy to follow and doesnt make me feel overwhelmed to try new things!
I made some this morning with leftover ham stir fried with a little garlic, onion , minced green olives and a little parmesan Romano the colby jack cheese and some scrambled eggs . Topped with sour cream and salsa.
They were outstanding!
Excellent. The homemade tortillas are a really nice touch.
I love to add my spin on recepies, but your basics have set me up for greatness for the family! Thanks for this video🥰🥰🥰🥰
The lady can really put together in the kitchen.
I hate when people say that you cook with dirty hand's !! How do they know what you do off camera !! plus you are making the food for your family and as long as you're family is happy I believe that you do wash your hands because of some of the things you make.!!! I believe that you are a great cook and explain everything so people who watch understand everything so please don't stop and don't let them get to you !! Love from Arizona 🌵🏜️
Absolutely delicioso! I’m so gonna try these. I love making quesadillas, but these are next level 🤣
Well I'll be darn. Making tortillas is just that easy, huh. I think I can do it, too! 😊 Thx!

Love the fact that you took the time to hand make the tortillas. Cooking is a passion of mine so def appreciate being able to watch someone else make them. 😊
Absolutely
You’re family is so blessed to have you, mama!
I love Chimichangas so much. I remember back in the 90’s when I was first taught to make them in New England in a restaurant I worked at, I thought they where the greatest invention ever after tasting one.
I thought there was some type of sauce on the inside.
Healthy Recipe Channel I used rotel green chilies in mine gives it lil kick
@@kandicerodriquez9797 Thanks for the tip.
Kandice Rodriquez Oh, yeah!! 🌶
New England? say what? You got the taco bell version cuz!

You are now one of my new favorite cooking channels. Can't wait to start trying these recipes.
Just made for dinner and they turned out delicious 😋

Great job, I have been wanting to try these, chimichangas are my favorite when I eat out. Thank you 🙏🏻
I absolutely love the fact that you talk with absolutely no accent until you say tortilla. I think you’re Fabulous!!! This looks NOM NOM NOM!!
I live in New Zealand and I've always wanted to try Chimichangas! Thank you for showing me how to make them😋 I'll be trying them soon! Wow they look yum😊😊😊
Outstanding! Subscribed! I like to drizzle ridiculously spicy salsa over these.
They look fabulous! Thanks for the video!
Delicious! I stuffed mine with shrimp and onions cooked with garlic and olive oil. I also added, refried beans, Taco rice and cheese. Topped with sour cream. Yummy!!!
Love how simple your recipe is and that you demonstrated how to make homemade tortillas. Gonna try this 🙂
Thank you. I've been subscribed to your channel for awhile and really enjoy the accessibility of your recipes. It makes it easier to try new things.
Thank you! I appreciate it! :)
Yummmmm. Those look so delicious. I will be making them during my Quarantine ❤
You are my go to chef for anything mexican. Love to watch your videos.
Hi!! Just stopping in for this delicious recipe! Making this for lunch today!
Thank you for all your awesome videos!! 💗
I love these! I make them a lot too. I just tie them when wrapping, with string used to close pastels and when your done frying, just cut them off. Helps with getting no oil inside 🙂
Thank you for making a video that’s actually about the recipe and not everything else but. Loved it! And they look delicious!!
Yum. I didn’t realized that it was that easy…I’m impressed…thank you so much for sharing this recipe….yum👍👍👍
Thank you Gochujang Moma. I made these chimichanga's & they were simply delicious.. I only changed my meat for asada & added my cheese. I didn't add any side dish & glad I didn't because the chimichanga alone was filling & satisfying.. You made this recipe a hit in my home.. Looking for more of your great recipes (& have tried a few that was also so good) so keep my bell ringing when you continue to share.. Thank you. 😊 Cali Girl
Yum topped with Guacamole, sour cream and Pico De Gallo for me Please :-)
Yum

Thank you for this recipe. I needed to see these made. So simple and so good.👍👍👍😋😋😋
I have just made these, I did use rotisserie chicken and store bought tortillas, kept the spices the same. Sooooo delicious!
I saw your video & learned something new... use a wooden chop stick to test the oil. I did and it worked!! Thanks for the unexpected new tip!!
i cant handle spicy food so i havent been able to find ones that i can eat, that is until now, Thank You sooooo very much for this recipe, god bless you
Definitely going to try looks delicious ❤

You are very thorough and easy to follow. Great job. Keep it up!
Oh yum I could eat at least five of those right now.
Love your delicious recipes!
Hi, I eliminated the frying in oil with placing them on an air fryer and it does a great job on making them crunchy without using oil. I like how you explain all and love trying what you make. God bless you and your loved ones from an 82 year old in Texas.
I've never thought to wrap this way, after all these years! Love your channel too, btw! : )
