Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas

Ingredients

→ Chimichangas

 6 (8-inch) soft flour tortillas
 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
 2 tablespoons sour cream
 1 tablespoon sugar
 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 3/4 cup sliced strawberries
 Vegetable oil for frying

→ Coating

 1 tablespoon cinnamon
 1/3 cup sugar

→ Serving

 1 cup sliced strawberries

Instructions

Beat the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Fold in 3/4 cup of sliced fresh strawberries.

Divide the filling evenly among the 6 tortillas. Spread the filling in the lower third of each tortilla. Fold the sides of each tortilla toward the center and roll it up like a burrito. Secure with toothpicks.

Combine 1/3 cup sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a shallow bowl and set aside.

Line a large plate with paper towels to drain fried chimichangas.

Place about 2 to 2 1/2 inches of vegetable oil in a saucepan and heat it over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 360ºF.

Fry the chimichangas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes, flipping as needed.

Drain the chimichangas briefly on the paper towel-lined plate, then roll them in the cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Ensure all toothpicks are removed before serving.
