Lay out the flour tortillas and spread a layer of refried beans on each one.
Top the beans with a generous amount of shredded chicken, followed by a sprinkling of cheddar cheese and a dollop of salsa.
Fold the tortillas to encase the fillings, creating a rectangular package.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the chimichangas in the oil and fry until golden brown.
