1️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth & creamy.
Gently fold in chopped strawberries, making sure they are evenly distributed.
2️⃣ Assemble the Chimichangas
Lay out a tortilla and place about 2–3 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling in the center.
Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly, like a burrito, to seal the filling inside.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
3️⃣ Fry Until Golden & Crispy
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place chimichangas seam-side down in the hot oil.
Fry for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden brown & crispy.
Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4️⃣ Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
In a shallow bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon.
While still warm, roll each chimichanga in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
Drizzle with chocolate sauce, caramel, or honey for extra sweetness.
Top with whipped cream & fresh strawberries for a fancy touch.
Serve with vanilla ice cream for a heavenly dessert experience!
