Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened (creamy & smooth texture!) 
½ cup powdered sugar (adds the perfect sweetness!) 
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (enhances the cheesecake flavor!) 
½ cup chopped strawberries (fresh or frozen, thawed & drained!) 
For the Chimichangas:
4–6 medium flour tortillas (soft & pliable!) 
Vegetable oil (for frying) (light & crisp texture!) 
½ cup granulated sugar (for coating!)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (adds warmth & flavor!) 
Step-by-Step Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
