This recipe was wonderful. I topped it with a sugar cinnamon and butter pecan ice cream
Sean Gibson
This was tasty, but I couldn’t get the chimichanga crunch to my tortilla. Instead I had a very browned but still soft shell, which wasn’t that great.
Joshua Adams
SO GOOOOD!!!! I made the recipe exact as written. I used toothpicks to hold the tortilla. Added some cinnamon and sugar on top for fun.
Donald Anderson
This is delicious!!! I didn’t have rum so I used vanilla and fried them in coconut oil instead of vegetable oil, then sprinkled them with cinnamon sugar, but otherwise followed the recipe as is. They are fabulous! Thank you for the recipe!

This was such a great dessert! I didn’t have any banana liquor, so I just used 3oz of white rum. Worked perfectly! I will definitely make this again ??
Scott Murillo
A super rich dessert from basic ingredients ! …and that splash of spiced rum is perfection!

We made this for our after dinner dessert tonight. I didn’t have any spiced rum so I add a few drops of vanilla extract instead. I also added cream cheese and a dash of cinnamon inside the tortilla before frying. This one is a keeper!

my mother in law that doesn’t eat much had her finished before I could finish the other 4 being made. and everyone else loved it. I didn’t care for the rum personally but i did love it without it.

My friend’s husband made these using this recipe for a dessert and I loved it so much, I immediately added it! So yummy!

These were good, not amazing. Were a huge hit with the kids though.
Hayden Horton
My boyfriend and I loved this. Instead of banana syrup, we just used chocolate and some ice cream… So good!
Jessica Barrera
This was very good and would have been excellent had I not burned the chimichangas somewhat in oil that was too hot (my fault). The banana/rum sauce was delicious, however. I only had white rum so I spiced it up with a small pinch each of ground cinnamon, allspice, cloves, pepper, nutmeg and ginger. I served these with vanilla ice cream.

Not sure where I went wrong but my tortillas burned after seconds in the oil, and I had a hard time rolling them up and getting them to stay sealed. So I opted to bake instead, 10 mins at 400, and used toothpicks to keep them together. Turned half way though. Came out much better. Served with whipped cream sprinkled with cinnamon.

I didn’t add the alcohol (ran out) and used low carb tortillas. Simple & tasty, I made the banana mixture first and when everyone was ready to eat, I assembled the chimichangas and fried them us.
Anthony Berg
Very good! And, oh soooo easy! I will make these again. Thanks for sharing.
Caitlin Anderson
i made the banana filling and served it over vanilla ice cream, with home made cinnamon tortilla chips. it was a hit! i also had home made whipped cream.

UN – BE- LEIV – ABLE. Ok, so, truth is, I had to change it a little. I don’t have any spiced rum, so I used vanilla, I also thought cinnamon was needed and added approx 1/2 tsp. Put them in 10 inch flour burrito tortillas – bad idea – they really should be rolled in the thinner flour torts. I ended up dumping it out of the tortillas and just putting it over vanilla ice cream. SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD! There was a decent amount left over after the three of us had a bowl, and I advised my husband that if he didn’t want to sleep with the dog for the next week, there would still be some left when I got home from work, they were so good that I think he may be sleeping with the dog!
Amy Mcbride
These are great! Very quick to put together and a real treat with ice cream!
