Ingredients
✔ 6 large flour tortillas
✔ 8 oz cream cheese, softened
✔ 1/4 cup powdered sugar
✔ 1 tsp vanilla extract
✔ 1/2 cup diced fresh strawberries
✔ 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
✔ 1 tsp cinnamon (for coating)
✔ Oil for frying
Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Filling: In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in diced strawberries.
2️⃣ Assemble the Chimichangas: Spread 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly like a burrito.
3️⃣ Fry Until Golden: Heat about 1 inch of oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry each chimichanga until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
4️⃣ Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. While warm, roll each chimichanga in the mixture.
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy! Drizzle with chocolate sauce, caramel, or whipped cream for an extra treat!
Notes
- Use strawberry jam or preserves instead of fresh strawberries for an extra fruity filling.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes instead of frying for a healthier version.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence.
