Did Someone Say Chimichanga?

El Charro Cafe is widely considered to be the birthplace of the now famous chimichanga. As the story goes, Tia Monica Flin was busy frying her now famous El Charro ground beef tacos, when she accidentally dropped a burro into the frying pan. When the burro dropped in the pan, oil splashed everywhere and as she was about to lash out a common Spanish cuss word starting with “Ch” but because she was amongst her young nieces and nephews, changed it to “Chimichanga”, the equivalent of “thingamajig.”
