Chimichanga is a meat-filled
deep-fried burrito, that originated in Tucson, Arizona.
According to a legend, Monica Flin, who started the restaurant
El Charro in 1922, accidentally dropped a burrito into the deep
fat fryer. She immediately began to utter a Spanish curse-word,
but quickly edited herself to say "Chimichanga" the Spanish
equivalent of "thingamajig." The origin of the chimichanga is subject to some debate. In addition, Macayo's restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona claims that its founder, Woody Johnson, invented the chimichanga some time in the 1950s. |
