Notes:
To fold the chimichangas without losing the filling: take one of the tortillas, place filling in middle, and roll it over once. Add some of your flour glue (a bit of flour mixed with water to make a "glue or paste") to the two ends, and fold them in towards the center. Roll it again, and use some more glue to seal off the edge. Use toothpick to secure until ready to fry. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. If your tortillas are breaking, you can warm them up in the microwave a bit first, to make them more pliable.
