The chimichanga: From accidental creation to culinary fame
The chimichanga, a deep-fried burrito filled with flavourful meats, beans and cheese, is a beloved staple of Tex-Mex cuisine. Known for its crispy exterior and hearty fillings, this dish represents the vibrant fusion of Mexican and American culinary traditions.
The most famous story about its origins comes from Tucson, Arizona, where Monica Flin, the founder of El Charro Café (one of the oldest Mexican restaurants in the US), is said to have accidentally invented the dish in the 1920s.
