  1. These were awesome! I was pleased that they did actually get crunchy like a chimichanga. I was not sure about the beans, but they went perfectly with it. I omitted the cinnamon (DH's preference), used less oil for the sauteing portion, and only 1/2 cup of the salsa, since the kind we use is hot. I could not get these to fold up into a rectangle, so just folded them enchilada style, and did not turn them over, as I knew they would fall apart if I did. Additional garnishes we used were diced tomato and cilantro. They were so delicious!

  2. I didn't especially like the cinnamon addition, it gave it a different flavor that I am used to. It also would have better had there been a sauce on top (I can't remember the name, but it usually is a white sauce). Thanks for sharing, though, it's always fun to try something new.

  3. This recipe is delicious! Made it for dinner tonight, it made the house smell great and tasted even better! I used nutmeg in place of cinnamon because I couldn't find the cinnamon for the life of me. I also cooked the chicken breasts in a can of mild enchilada sauce before shredding it. Served with homemade salsa and homemade guacamole.

  2. I'll admit I used beef instead of chicken but I didn't wander much more than that from the recipe and it was awesome! The tortillas came out awesome and crispy. I topped mine with some queso and couldn't resist eating two!

  3. very good recipe. i tweaked it a little just because my husband is a picky eater. onion powder instead of onions and i used tomato sauce in the mixture and salsa for topping. also i omitted the beans - neither of us like them. very easy to make and very tasty!!

  4. This was wonderful! the cinnamon adds an interesting but great flavor. I used a can of rinsed black beans instead of refried beans.

  5. I substituted 12 oz of shredded cheddar cheese for the refried beans and stirred it in with the chicken mixture. A hit with the kids & the spouse.
