The original post was

"Does anyone know a good recipe for chicken chimichangas or a good
site to find one?"

I don't know why people are so reluctant to use the tools they have
available. When I need a recipe, the first thing I do is search the
web and the more common recipe collections (recipesource.com, for
one). I usually read several recipes to get the general idea of
ingredients and method. If I don't understand what's going on, I'll
post something like "some recipes say to deep-fry; others just bake.
How does just baking turn out?" That is, I can get 99% of my answers
with a little effort on my part. I *should* have said, since the OP
was after a recipe with chicken, "search on

chimichange recipe chicken

There are 1,710 hits on this. I generously assumed that the poster was
unfamiliar with how to use a search engine, and provided a productive
search string.

I note that the very interesting "conversational thread" has thus far
turned up not one recipe for chicken chimichangas since the original
posting 2 weeks ago. In 2 minutes, the OP could have discovered over a
thousand solutions.

I *did* save the method for machaca/shredded beef/carne seca -- sounds
good! :-)
