"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Combine picante sauce & next 5 ingredients in a Dutch oven. Cook over medium - low heat, stirring often, for 25 minutes or until most of the liquid evaporates.

Personal Notes:
This recipe can easily be cut back to make fewer chimichangas. Also, you can play around with how much mixture to put in each tortilla; I sometimes use less than 1/3 cup if I'm trying to stretch the mixture!
