Assemble the Chimichangas
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/4 of the chicken mixture in the center of the tortilla. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito shape.

Grill the Chimichangas
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chimichangas seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.

Serve
Remove from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Serve with chimichurri sauce and a dollop of sour cream.
