2nd try. I believe the nutritional values on this recipe to be wrong. There would be carbohydrates because tortillas are used...tortillas have carbs.

For those who really do read the nutritional values, 15 grams of saturated fat is a whole lot of bad fat!!!

This recipe could be tweaked a bit, and provide a great tasting, healthier chimichanga!

Hey, the ingredients with * are not being calculated, we use USDA data to do the calculation of the recipes, so not all the ingredients can be found in USDA data. But we are trying to update the data more often in order to have most current USDA data to make the nutrition facts as accurate as possible.

We actually have mentioned it in "How is this calculated?", see the link at the bottom of each nutriton facts.
