Ingredients

For the Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced

For the Chimichangas:

4-6 small flour tortillas

Vegetable oil, for frying

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

For Serving (Optional):

Whipped cream

Chocolate or caramel drizzle

Additional fresh strawberries

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the diced strawberries and mix gently.

2. Assemble the Chimichangas

Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling onto the lower third of each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly like a burrito, ensuring the filling is fully enclosed.

3. Fry Until Crispy

Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the chimichangas seam-side down and fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate.

4. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

In a shallow dish, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. While the chimichangas are still warm, roll them in the mixture until fully coated.

5. Serve & Enjoy

Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce, top with whipped cream, and garnish with fresh strawberries. Serve warm and enjoy every crispy, creamy bite!
