Assemble the Chimichangas
Lay a tortilla flat and place a generous amount of the filling in the center. Fold the sides over the filling and roll it up tightly, making sure to tuck in the ends to prevent spilling.

Fry the Chimichangas
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the rolled chimichangas seam side down into the oil. Fry until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
