chimichanga is a deep-fried burrito. It typically consists of a flour tortilla filled with ingredients such as shredded beef, chicken, or pork, along with rice, beans, cheese, and seasonings.
It is also a damn near magic ingredient for anyone that doesn’t have access to pure sodium citrate, and wants a silky smooth cheese sauce that won’t break even when you put it in the fridge and reheat in the microwave. Just make your cheese sauce as normal with whatever cheeses you want. Once you’ve gotten it melted and combined, add a single slice of American cheese. The flavor won’t change in the slightest since American cheese has a fairly mild flavor, but the texture absolutely will change to that perfect nacho cheese sauce texture everyone knows and loves.
I will say this, while this does seem like a weird combo, The US has a knack for transforming simple, low-quality ingredients amazingly delicious dishes.
I’d try it prior to hating it. It’s pretty good, regardless of the of cheese.
My guess is pollo fundido. It’s like a chimichanga covered in cheese and creamy sauce.

Go eat one they kick ass!
Doesn’t look very fun at all
Those are slices of American Cheese, which is a pasteurized processed cheese food. Not actual cheese.
It makes a nostalgic grilled cheese but whatever is underneath in the pic, it doesn’t deserve that blanket.
American Cheese is processed, however it is real cheese.

That is an interesting use. Thanks.
