Chicken Chimichangas

Chicken Chimichangas | Tortillas stuffed with refried beans, chicken, cheese, and rice fried to perfection! | www.fantasticalsharing.com

Do any of you have problems finding spices when you need them? I recently got a little spice stairs organization thing and pulled out all my spices. I ended up organizing them by bottle and then alphabetically. I may or may not have a problem. Now I don't have to search all my bottles to try and find the cumin which may be a blue capped Great Value bottle or a normal size McCormick or a little McCormick.

Lucky for me, this recipe didn't use cumin and I didn't have to try and search through the mess of spices before I got my neat organization thing, but this recipe didn't need it. They were flavorful and delicious. I love chimichangas - there is something about these burrito-like treats being fried that just makes them so good. I loved having the different layers of chicken, beans, cheese, and rice inside too.
