This was very good. I made a cheese sauce to go on top. First I made a roue of 2 T crisco melted in a pan then added about 1 T of flour stirred in real good so there were no lumps. I browned it slightly and added about 1-2 c. of milk. This I thickened and added some velveeta cheese about1/2 of a big log. Then I added about 1 c Rotel tomatoes. Stir until cheese is melted. Youn may add salt and pepper if you like. Add this on top of the chimichangas. Delicious. (these measurement are approx.) You could also put chili on top. I also added about 1 c. of cheddar cheese to my refried beans and some milk to make it creamy

As an ethical vegan, I'm always on the lookout for tasty, cruelty-free meals. I work in the medical field, but my heart lies with anything and everything relating to animal welfare. I share my home with two each furry (cats) and feathered friends. Something I'd like to encourage all chefs is, don't be afraid to experiment! I'm not always really specific about measurements, and that's because I go by feel, so if you want to add a little more or a little less -by all means!
