Day 22: Turkey and Cheese Chimichangas

I had plans to go to SATC 2 with my cousins, so I made this ahead of time and left it for Paul, Austin and Jane. It is a recipe of Dianna's and one that she has tried and her family has liked.
Kitchen Play by Play: What am I supposed to do with the other 1/2 lb of turkey? I made it all. I followed all other measurements precisely. I also used mild salsa, so it wouldn't be too spicy for Austin. I used a four cheese Mexican blend because that is all I could find in reduced fat at Target. I definitely stuffed more than 1/2 cup of filling in each tortilla. There was some spillage as I rolled them up. I was able to fit 8 chimichangas into the 9x13 pan no problem. Since i did make the whole pound of meat, I did have extra filling. I put it in Tupperware and plan on using it as a dip or to make nachos. I left 90second(micro) Spanish rice pouch and some green beans for the three of them as well.

The Verdict:

Paul-3.95. I can't give a chimichanga that isn't 40 WW points a 4. They had great taste but could have use a little sauce or melted cheese on top.

Jane-gives it a 5. " The tortilla was crunchy and the filling was very tasty."

Austin-started out by making "mmmm" sounds but then decided he was done eating.
