Creating Chicken Chimichangas is a fun and satisfying experience when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheese, refried beans, diced onion, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds on each side to make them more pliable.
3. Assemble the Chimichangas: Place 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up.
4. Prepare for Frying: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until hot.
5. Fry the Chimichangas: Carefully place 2-3 chimichangas seam-side down into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.
6. Drain: Remove the chimichangas with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
7. Repeat: Repeat the frying process with the remaining chimichangas.
8. Serve Immediately: Once all chimichangas are fried, serve hot.
