Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream or Cool Whip (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

For the Chimichangas:

  • 4–6 medium flour tortillas
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • Vegetable or canola oil (for frying)

For Garnishing:

  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Chocolate or caramel sauce (optional)
  • Extra fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
    • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
    • Mix in the vanilla extract. If using whipped cream, fold it in for extra fluffiness.
    • Stir in the diced strawberries. Set aside.
  2. Fill and Roll the Chimichangas
    • Lay a tortilla flat and place 2-3 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling on the lower third.
    • Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito, sealing the edges to prevent leaks. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  3. Fry the Chimichangas
    • Heat 1-2 inches of oil in a skillet over medium heat (about 350°F/175°C).
    • Fry each chimichanga seam-side down for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
    • Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
    • In a shallow dish, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
    • Roll the warm chimichangas in the mixture to coat evenly.
  5. Serve and Enjoy
    • Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce if desired.
    • Serve immediately with fresh strawberries or a scoop of ice cream.
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 5 minutes
