Assemble the Chimichangas
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the filling mixture into the center of the tortilla. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling completely. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
