Description

These Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas are a fun and indulgent dessert! Creamy cheesecake filling with fresh strawberries is wrapped in tortillas, fried to golden perfection, and coated in cinnamon sugar. Perfect for parties, a special treat, or just because!

Ingredients

Units Scale
For the Filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
For the Chimichangas:
  • 6 medium flour tortillas
  • 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For Serving (Optional):
  • Whipped cream
  • Strawberry syrup or chocolate drizzle
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
    • Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
  2. Assemble the Chimichangas:
    • Lay a tortilla flat. Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling in the center.
    • Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll it up tightly like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  3. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar:
    • In a shallow bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  4. Fry the Chimichangas:
    • Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
    • Carefully place 1-2 chimichangas in the hot oil, seam-side down. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
    • Remove from the oil using tongs and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar:
    • While still warm, roll the chimichangas in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve warm, topped with whipped cream, strawberry syrup, or powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • To bake instead of frying, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the chimichangas with melted butter, place them on a baking sheet, and bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • For an air fryer version, cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes until golden brown, brushing with a bit of oil or melted butter.
  • Substitute strawberries with other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or peaches for variety.
