1 chimichanga (~280 g) has about 700 calories.
Why estimates miss: Beef Chimichanga is a multi-ingredient dish. It is a deep-fried burrito, and trackers logging it as a regular burrito completely miss the frying-oil absorption. Generic calorie apps undercount the hidden oil, sauce and portion — CalDesk AI's photo estimate is tuned to catch exactly this.
