Description

Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas are a delicious dessert that combines the flavors of creamy cheesecake and fresh strawberries, all wrapped in a crispy tortilla and fried to perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Fold in the chopped strawberries gently.
  3. Place a few tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture in the center of each tortilla.
  4. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly to form a chimichanga.
  5. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
  6. Fry the chimichangas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  7. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
  8. Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and roll the warm chimichangas in the mixture.
  9. Serve warm with additional strawberries or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, you can bake the chimichangas instead of frying them.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to ensure a crispy texture.
  • These can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
