A few days ago, I came up with this amazing Paleo Fried Wonton Recipe. I knew they were going to be a huge hit, mostly because of the light, crispy, flakey outside. And I knew it was time to come up with some other sweet recipes to make these even more special.
Enter: {mini} Grain Free Chocolate Chimichangas. Yes, you read that right. Chimichangas.
As in fried amazingness.
Chimichangas are typically deep-fried burritos. Apparently, they began on accident when the founder of a restaurant in Arizona, Monica Flin, accidentally dropped some pastry into the deep fryer. Well, Monica. I thank you for your inspiration!
These mini chocolate chimichangas are light and crispy on the outside, and filled with ooey, gooey, melted chocolate on the inside. Perfection!
Pin it for later!

Is there any substitute for the palm shortening? These look yummy!

Hi, Abbey! You could use another vegetable oil that you prefer frying with if needed.
