Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas

A delicious dessert twist on the classic chimichanga, filled with creamy cheesecake and fresh strawberries, then fried to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Fold in the diced strawberries until evenly distributed.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly among the tortillas, spreading it in the center of each.
  4. Fold the sides of the tortillas inward, then roll tightly to form chimichangas.
  5. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry the chimichangas until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. Remove from oil and brush with melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar to coat.
  7. Serve warm with additional strawberries or whipped cream if desired.
