    Easy, Easy, Easy!!! I love meals like this. Didn't use the Chi Chi Mexi-sause because I make my own Verde sause in large batches and then freeze it. This was a perfect fix for my long work day.

    This review is on the Chi-Chi's Mexi-sauce. This is a great sauce to add to just about any Mexican food dish. I did leave out the cilantro.It is very simple to make and taste great. I put this on my own version of Chimichangas along with some queso and it was a wonderful pairing.

    These are wonderful! I did not like the taste of the cinnamon, so I left it out the second time I made them, and I also did not flip them after 10 minutes. I just let them bake for about 20 minutes and they were very crispy and wonderful. The first time I made them, I flipped them, they started to open, and the filling came partly out. The leftovers also reheated well in the oven and were just as crispy and delicious as the first time!

    This is amazing! Made this twice so far, and absolutely love it. There is no reason to go to a Mexican restaurant when you can make these chimichangas at home.

    Incredible flavor, left out the cinnamon, added grilled anaheim and ancho pablano peppers. Green sauce is easy to make and is delicious.

    I've made this twice so far, and will definitely make it again. Soooooo good! This is a keeper. However, I think the recipe instructions could've been more complete, especially for those who don't cook much. It doesn't mention which heat setting on the stovetop to use in the first part of the recipe, and for the sauce, it also doesn't say, plus it doesn't say how much oil to use to saute. Granted, many people will know this from other cooking experiences, but many others might want to know.

    These were the MOST amazing thigs that I have made ever!!!! IO had never used cinamon i a savory dish before and was hesitant but OMG it added a depth of flavor that was unimaginable...I did however used baked chicken ***** istead of a store bought rotisserie ...My Mother and father even wanted the recipe. It was easy to make and pretty fast ..the time consuming part was baking my chicken but if I had bought a store bought rotisserie it would have been a quick meal to make. DEFINATELY AN AMAZING DISH thank you food network for the recipe!!!

    I made these tonight for dinner and it was a big hit! I also used the smaller tortilla shells and got 8 pretty big chimis!! I liked the hint of cinnamon. It wasn't too overpowering. Definitely make the sauce that goes on top. It really adds to it. We also topped with more sour cream and diced tomatoes. They are nice and crispy, but I do agree that cooking at 450 degrees, it only takes approx 5-6 minutes on each side. This definitely is a keeper and goes GREAT with Margaritas too! MMMMMM!!

    These were good. Just good. not fantastic, not "wow, I've got to make these again" but definitely not bad at all. Just forgetable. I like that these were cooked in the oven and not fried. Probably will stick to my enchiladas...which are better (we think. OH, I did not use a rotisserie chicken, instead, used plain chicken I cooked.
