This is a great recipe! I had to leave out the sour cream because my husband hates it, but it was still so delicious that I wanted to eat another one! The addition of the chiles gave the meat mixture a really great flavor. Thank you for sharing.

I also loved this recipe! I was looking for a healthier alternative to the fried chimis (one of my favorite Mexican foods). I left out all the garnishes and left out the sour cream too.
How I did it was mix all the ingredients together in a shallow pan and then put a generous dallop in to the tortilla. Cooked as author suggested!
Simply delicious!

I loved this recipe! I will be making this again and again!
I left out the chiles and the tomatoes because my husband isn’t crazy for either and the filling still had an amazing flavor. I love the texture of the baked tortillas and was extremely pleased at how well this turned out. And of course the added bonus of not having to deep fry didn’t hurt matters either.

These were a hit! They even tasted amazing reheated. Will definitely be making these again…Loved not having to deep fry them. They baked tortillas were amazing!

This is a great technique for easy and very tasty chimis. I love topping these with a white queso sauce to finish. Definitely a keeper recipe that I will use often. Thanks for sharing!

These are AMAZING! So much healthier with the turkey and baked shells. Thanks for sharing!

These were great. I forgot the tomato so I had a can of rotel tomato with chiles, then left out the can of fire roasted. I was also able to bake for only about 15 min so keep an eye on them in your oven.

AWESOME!!! Very easy and very tasty. I think next time I will add a little more sour cream to make the middle more moist!

This is a fantastic recipe! I left out the cilantro because no one here likes it and I used a can of diced tomotoes with green chiles. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly and they are spectacular! I cannot say enough good things! These are going to be a part of my recipe book from now on!

A hugh hit in my household. I haven’t had Chimichangas in ages because they are fried. This will be a staple in my recipe box now. Love, love, love it. Thanks for sharing.

I made this for dinner last night and it was AWESOME. The filling was so flavorful and the shells turned out great in the oven. I will definitely be putting this in our regular dinner rotation.
I substituted a can of Rotel (drained) for the can of chiles and the fresh tomatoes because I’m lazy and I don’t like things too spicy. I also used dried cilantro b/c I didn’t have fresh, but the taste was still great.

I’m not a big chimi fan but will be trying out that recipe for enchiladas–I like my tortillas with sauce and cheese on top. Sounds delicious thanks!

Oh my – this was seriously wonderful! I have to say, I am a complete Mexican food-o-holic… so I know what is good! And, this, my friend, is realllly good!

I am hosting bunko here at my home on the 3rd of May. I think this will be the headliner!

I had some friends over last night for Cinco de Mayo. Living in South Africa makes it a bit tricky to find mexican food staples, but I found this was a dish where I could easily find the ingredients! I had to improvise on just a couple things… for example, I used ostrich meat instead of ground turkey or chicken, as they are both impossible to find here. I did happen to spot a can of Old el Paso chiles and was so excited!
My husband wanted a “sauce” for the chimis, which I didn’t make. However, we used PW’s restaurant style salsa as a sauce – it was just that perfect touch! I see now that I missed a step and should have melted cheese on top of them, but at the end of the day, maybe it was a bit healthier for us to leave us off (we’ll definitely melt cheese on them next time!).
Thanks for this recipe and for the idea! I’m really looking forward to my chimi for lunch today! YUM!

I tried this out a few nights ago – fantastic! I loved the flavor and they were even good reheated. I used ground turkey and had to substitute non-fat plain yogurt because the only sour cream in my fridge had expired over a month ago. I will use this one again!
