Wonton Chimichangas

[Gastricsleeve4me 186]

I wanted a little bean burrito, but turned it into a chimichanga with a wonton wrapper and a little olive oil. 50-100 calories each with fat free refried Beans, depending on how much (and type of ) cheese you use.

I am SO glad I am on soft foods already.. I am well on my way to eating normally (althought lots less) again. These look delicious!

These look so delicious. I am thoroughly enjoying all the recipes that everyone is sharing. I started printing them out, putting them in plastic protectors and making a binder. I was worried cooking was going to be a big problem after surgery but thanks to recipes like these, I believe its going to be a piece of cake.

Please move to Texas and cook for me! I'm willing to shop for the food and do the dishes! Lol. I'll have to add this to the list of foods I'll think about cooking one day. Ha!

Aren't wonton wrappers made from wheat flour and as a total carb, forbidden?

I am SO not someone who cooks so trust me when I say...if I can do it, you can do it Nothing I make takes more than like 10-15 mins to make (not including oven time) or like 4 ingredients, lol

It depends on your carb approach. One wrapper, which is all I ever do at a time, is 4 carbs and 20 calories. For me, they fit within my under 30g of carbs daily and add the texture I enjoy. My goal isn't to eliminate all wheat flour, but I certainly limit it extensively. My NUT is supportive, but everyone is definitely different!

I'm a coward...I wonder if I'll end up drooling like an idiot and totally unable to contol myself after eating one of these. At least that's what the surgeon would have me believe. I do want to try it...but WHAT IF i really lose control after 7 mos???

Where do u get the wrappers anyhow?

They are in the refrhigerated section by the tofu at my stores. Themost ommon brand is Dynasty. They will take the place of bread which ou will need to stay away from or awhile because it can expand and knot up in your new tummy.
