Pin them closed with a frill pick.
Boy do I feel silly, but what's a frill pick?

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!

+1. Another variation that I do when I only want to make one or two is to just brush on some of my oil of choice and just broil it (you'll have to flip it, of course).I pan fry mine, come out great, cook fast, never unravel. just make sure you don't have the heat too high.
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.

On a related note, anyone have a good method for deep frying mini taco shells? I cut 2 to 2.5 inch rounds of corn tortillas, but they don't work well in a regular taco basket. I ended up 'devising' a mold of sorts out of stiff wire - but it's labor intensive doing one at a time. Any my apologies to AJ if I've gone too far off topic.......:O
wait! what does "chimichanga" mean?
Sara, a chimichanga is a deep fried burrito.
