Is Chimichanga made with seed oils?
Usually seed oils
Usually deep-fried in seed oils.
A chimichanga is a burrito that gets dropped straight into the fryer, so it picks up whatever oil the restaurant fries in, typically soybean or canola. The tracker estimates around 12g of seed-oil PUFA for one, among the highest of any Mexican dish in the tracker.
How to keep it seed-oil-free
Order the same fillings as an un-fried burrito, or ask if it can be baked instead of fried.
