Deadpool: Chimichangas
If there was one food item that is most memorable from the Marvel and comic book world it would be Deadpool’s favorite, chimichangas. The ingredients may vary with each recipe but chimichangas are usually deep fried until crispy and golden brown. You can do that with this recipe but I find shallow frying and baking it yields the same result. You can easily substitute many of these ingredients to fit your taste but I personally love this combination and I hope you do as well. Please enjoy!
