Answer 2

its yummy no doubt.... hey u know the history of this ,,,  tell u The southwest is well known for its delicious Mexican food, and the residents of Tucson, Arizona, boldly proclaim their city the "Mexican food Capital of the U.S." The city has its own version of Tex-Mex food, which it calls Arizona-Sonoran cuisine. Because southern Arizona was once part of the Mexican state of Sonora, this style is considered the "soul food" of Arizona.

The chimichanga, or "chimi," has achieved cult status in Tucson. A chimichanga is a burrito prepared with a choice of meat, vegetables, and spices. deep-fried to a golden perfection, and served on a bed or lettuce with cheese and mild sauce. The residents of Tucson take their chimis very seriously and prefer large, overstuffed versions. Every restaurant and mom-and-pop eatery has its own version of this favorite dish.

Culinary historians argue about exactly where chimichangas were invented. Several Tucson restaurants claim bragging rights. The strongest claim comes from the El Charro Cafe, the oldest Mexican restaurant in Tucson. Family legend say that Monica Flin, who started the restaurant in 1922, cussed in the kitchen when a burrito flipped into the deep fryer. Because young nieces and nephews were in the kitchen with her, she changed the swear word to "chimichanga," the Spanish equivalent of "thingamagig."

Answer 3

yummy

Answer 4

a deep-fried burrito...usually filled with meat (shredded pork or beef)

EDIT:

How does it make me feel? It's not as exciting as, say, Chilaquiles or Sopes. These words have a direct connection to my salivary glands and my stomach. The reaction is instantaneous. My mind goes directly to Tepoztlan, MX, where my mother-in-law  (mi suegrita) lives. It's a small mountain community south of Mexico City. They have an open market (a tiyanguis) in the center of town. There are many small booths there where they sell freshly made food and juices. THIS is the place to go for sopes, kind of a thick, fried tostada. Wow...I'm ready to go RIGHT NOW!!!

Now, chilaquiles are a specialty of the aforementioned mother-in-law. They are my favorite Mexican dish.

Answer 5

Ahh Chimichanga, just the sound of it gives me gas. It may cause me to cut a flauta.
