Chimi
chunga? Ok, a quick google shows you're not alone in your use of that spelling. (Is that common where you are something?) However a quick google of Chimichanga shows that it is the more accepted version.
Haha, funny writeup methinks on Chimichanga on Wiki
Quote:
The Chimichanga, or chivichanga, (pronounced chimmy·CHAHN·guh /tʃɪmiˈtʃɑŋə/ in English and /tʃimiˈtʃaŋga/ in Spanish) is a deep-fried burrito that originated in Tucson, Arizona. Flour tortillas are folded into rectangular packages and filled with a wide range of ingredients, most commonly beans, rice, cheese and shredded meat. They are then deep-fried and usually served without a sauce, but may be accompanied with salsa, guacamole, sour cream or cheese.
According to a legend, Monica Flin, who started the restaurant El Charro in 1922, accidentally dropped a burrito into the deep fat fryer. She immediately began to utter a Spanish curse-word, but quickly edited herself to say "Chimichanga" the Spanish equivalent of "thingamajig."
The origin of the chimichanga is subject to some debate. In addition, Macayo's restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona claims that its founder, Woody Johnson, invented the chimichanga some time in the 1950s.

Hahaha leave it to an American to deep-fry something and give it a new name. Though I don't believe that Monica Flin story for one second.
