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!
