Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh strawberries
  • 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

  3. Stir in the chopped strawberries.
  4. Lay out the flour tortillas and spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
  5. Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then tightly roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling.
  6. Brush the outside of each chimichanga with melted butter.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon.
  8. Dip each buttered chimichanga into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating evenly.
  9. Heat a skillet with about 1/2 inch of oil over medium heat.
  10. Fry the chimichangas for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  11. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.
  12. Serve warm, dusted with extra cinnamon-sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet when frying to ensure even cooking.
