Posted by John in One of the more popular “Mexican” foods is the chimichanga. The chimichanga, or chimi, is like a deep fried burrito. Probably not the healthiest food item, but very tasty. However, the chimichanga is not from Mexico, it is an Arizona original. Chimi historians seems to agree that it was invented by a Tucson restaurant decades ago. Which restaurant it was is unclear. Several Tucson restaurant have claimed that they came up with the original chimichanga.
