chimichanga

Deep-fried stuffed tortilla

A chimichanga is a deep-fried burrito—a flour tortilla wrapped around a filling of meat, beans, cheese, or other ingredients, then fried until crispy.

The dish originated in Mexican-American cuisine, likely in Arizona.

I ordered a beef chimichanga with sour cream and guacamole.
