Top with a cheese stick.
Fold in sides; roll up, starting with cheese side.
Bake, covered, in 350 degree F.

Seal, label, and freeze for up to 6 months.
To prepare, wrap frozen chimichangas individually in foil.
Bake in a 350 degree F.
Oven about 50 minutes or until heated through.
(Or, thaw chimichangas in refrigerator overnight. Bake about 30 minutes.) Unwrap.
Bake 10 minutes more or until tortilla is crisp and brown.
Or, heat about 1/4-inch depth of oil in a skillet.
