About Fast foods, chimichanga, with beef and cheese

A chimichanga is essentially a burrito that's been deep-fried — here filled with beef and cheese, folded into a tortilla and fried until the outside is crisp and golden. That frying step is exactly what sets it apart nutritionally from a regular soft burrito with the same filling.

Per 100 grams it provides about 242 calories, with roughly 11 grams of protein, a high 12.8 grams of fat and 21.5 grams of carbohydrate. The fat figure is the headline — noticeably higher than the equivalent un-fried burrito — because the tortilla absorbs oil during frying. The cheese lifts the calcium to around 130 milligrams, while sodium sits at about 523 milligrams per 100 grams and cholesterol around 28 milligrams.

The chimichanga delivers real protein from the beef and cheese, but the deep-frying makes it one of the richer Tex-Mex choices, with much of the extra energy coming from absorbed oil rather than the filling. It's a satisfying occasional indulgence; choosing a soft (un-fried) burrito with the same filling is the lighter swap.
