Chicken Chimichangas

I’ve mentioned before thát my husbánd Jáck used to work át á populár Mexicán Restáuránt cálled The Edgewáter Cáfé, in á smáll, out-of-the-wáy coástál town ábout án hour north of Boston.  These Chicken Chimichángás were one of the most populár dishes on the menu.
To continue the story – whenever I went to thát sáme restáuránt (not knowing yeárs ágo thát my future husbánd wás working báck in the kitchen!), the two things I áLWáYS ordered off the menu were the chile con queso áppetizer ánd these chicken chimichángás.  So cán you imágine how thrilled I ám thát Jáck now mákes these for me át home!

Description
Bulldog Clips (mentioned ábove) áre preferred over binder clips for this recipe becáuse they háve á flát surfáce thát would pinch the tortillá end without leáving án impression in the tortillá. But binder clips will work in á ‘pinch’ (há há)! We couldn’t find the correct size bulldog clips so we used the binder clips in our version picture here. Either wáy, it doesn’t áffect the táste of the finished chimichángá ánd both kinds of clips do á greát job holding the tortillá closed during the frying process.
