It all began with the hubby hearing the word 'chimichanga' on the series 'Two and a half men'. his interest was definitely piqued. I had always known what a chimichanga was, but never actually made it myself. this recipe is a baked version, so no unhealthy fried stuff!

Hey! I'm a super busy mommy to 3 year old mixed gender twins. I guess that's enough said about the amount of time i get to spend cooking :). Most of the food I cook is about saving time, but not compromising on flavour. My biggest supporter is my hubby, who loves trying out new recipes and experimenting with different flavours. We love entertaining friends, and our home is the usual watering hole in our gang. So we try to come up with some innovative, fun food. Hope u guys like them!
