For camping trips I use canned chicken or roast beef for convenience. I combine meat, salsa or canned green chili enchilada sauce, shredded colby jack cheese and/or some sour cream with the meat or just do plain cheese. For these chicken chimichangas, start by cooking an onion and garlic, then add in your shredded chicken, salsa and some spices. This is the base to your chimichanga filling. Once your filling is done, you'll spread some refried beans on a tortilla, then top that with some of your chicken mixture and some shredded cheese.
