until the vegetables go limp. - Spread out the tortillas, and divide the seafood mixture equally between
them, spooning it over the middle of each one. Roll up each tortilla, and
tuck in the ends to form solid packages. Secure with toothpicks. - Heat the oil in a deep heavy saucepan. Fry each chimichanga for about
