Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas are crispy fried tortillas filled with a rich cream cheese and strawberry mixture, then rolled in cinnamon sugar for a sweet, golden dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 6 flour tortillas (8- or 10-inch)
  • Butter or oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, chocolate sauce, strawberry sauce, extra strawberries

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
  3. Place a few spoonfuls of the filling into the center of each tortilla.
  4. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly like a burrito, securing with toothpicks if needed.
  5. In a shallow dish, mix 1/2 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  6. In a skillet, melt butter or heat oil over medium heat.
  7. Fry the chimichangas seam-side down first, turning until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Immediately roll each hot chimichanga in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
  9. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream, chocolate or strawberry sauce, or fresh berries if desired.

Notes

Bake at 400°F for 15–18 minutes for a lighter version—brush with butter first.Air fry at 375°F for 8–10 minutes until crispy.Try different fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or peaches.Add mini chocolate chips to the filling for a chocolatey twist.Use toothpicks to secure chimichangas during frying to prevent unrolling.
