Baked Turkey Chimichangas

Here is another dish for your Cinco de Mayo party!!

These were really yummy!  However, next time I'm going to use ground beef instead of turkey.  Usually I don't mind using turkey instead of beef, but in this recipe, I think beef would taste much better, though John liked the turkey.  Either way, it's super yummy! 

I made mini chimis using small flour tortillas.
