Great! I figured up using the low carb tortillas & it was 3 points. 1 point for the meat & 2 for the flour tortilla. That was doing 1/4 cup meat as they said. This ones a keeper!

I use cooked shredded chicken breast or turkey breast in place of the ground meat. Wonderful!

These are so good baked. Chimichangas fried are the worst thing out there for you but the baked version here is delicious and healthy!
