Slow day today at work so I tried a chimichanga idea out. Fail.
How do you fry these things! Is there a special basket? I tried nesting my fry baskets but they still floated and fell apart.
Thanks!

Pin them closed with a frill pick.
I use a little bit of flour water paste to keep mine together.
butcher twine or if you sandwich it right, just one fryer basket on top of the other. Oh yes they do make a special basket too.
If you use flour tortilla you can use water to close off the roll. I think you can doe the same with corn, but never tried it. I also do the stacking fryer baskets. If you have to much filling coming out use frill picks to help seal and support the seams.
Thanks. I want to use up some store bought whole wheat tortillas we have for some reason. They are not very big so stacking the fryer baskets did not work. I don't have the time to fiddle trussing them. I'll try the toothpick trick tomorrow. I'm not too keen on pan frying but if I can't pull these off in the fryer I'll try something on the flat top.
Thanks again.
